is it bad when you see small black stars?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, title says it all (and no i'm not going to the doctor, the last time i asked that it turned out as a disaster. Not because of whatever was bothering me but because everything i say/ask turns out into a disaster) Remember that the subject is about the black stars and not about the rant i had. (and i also don't see them all the time but just sometimes they suddenly appear) I think it troubles me for a very long time, could it be lack of sleeping?

Is your head kind of 'buzzing' at the same time?

hard to tell, if someone is supposed to hear nothing i always hear a peeping sound (like when there is no sound) but i don't think it has anything to do with that because its not necceserily at the same time...

I think I get something like that when I have been moving around a lot, like running and tumbling and such, as well as a buzzing/peeping sound. I believe it is something because of the blood circulation, similar to when you stand up too quickly.
It might have something to do with low blood pressure.

Check out this link: Floaters.

I have these, and they can be distressing in sunlight or other bright light--I sometimes think they are bugs and swat reflexively if one catches my attention unexpectedly, or try to focus on it (impossible).

If this isn't your issue, then you should see an ophthalmologist.

it could be low pressure, so, go to the doctor ASAP,
we aren't doctors, don't play with your life.

Yeah, you could be having mini-strokes.

Bad. Very bad.

Hey i didn't knew that was something not normal... Great another handicap to add to my list. And no, i was talking about small black stars (lol i didn't even know they where supposed to be bothering you is that what might cause my painful and sensitive eyes at some times?

The stars sound like blood pressure issues.

As for floaters, I've been told there isn't really much to do about them and they are kind of inevitable as we grow older.

Perhaps, but the OP's mention of "painful and sensitive eyes" in the last post is unlikely a blood-pressure issue. It could be as simple as eyestrain due to lack of sleep or need for corrective lenses, or something like glaucoma, which can be treated with relative ease.


Yes, I don't recall having them before my mid-30's. They're a mere annoyance, however, in the grand scheme of things. Laser treatments may prove promising, but I'll wait until the procedure is perfected. Surgery should be science, not art.

To the OP: Please see an ophthalmologist, if for no other reason than to rule out glaucoma or other easily treatable issues. You don't want to spend the rest of your life with a white cane in one hand and a German shepherd in the other.
