No, really, I *can* see perfectly...

Right! Guys, seriously, thank you all for the concern, well wishes, suggestions and hugs. That helped a lot with the nerves. ^_^'

According to my eye test I'm in perfect health. (And have 24/12 vision - what's that? Is that better than 20/20 or what? Wikipedia cannot answer me!) So it's not a fault they can detect. And Mr Optician Man says the most likely cause of the blindness is a plain and simple migraine, though the causes of that could be just about anything and I should go see my Doctor.

*blink*

Sorry, unintentional capitalisation there. XD

Anyway. I'm not panicking now, and it's nice to have it confirmed (particularly for my mum, who's been nagging fussing concerned about the possibility of my needing glasses) that my eyesight is fine.

So, next up is a trip to the doctor's. Could still be a vein thing, I guess, but photos of my eyes showed nothing at the back there, so it'd have to be further out. My dear ranamag, who is a med student, I hasten to add, reassuringly says it's not likely to be a brain tumour (honestly, I didn't really think that, but I always consider the worst case...) either, since that'd be degenerative symptoms rather than off-'n'-on. (: Jolly good.

Yes. Right. Thank you for the concern. *hugs back* I'll keep you posted of any further developments.

<relief>

I'm glad your eyes are okay, at least! But yes, you should definitely see a doctor. I hope everything turns out okay--I hope you can get yours figured out asap so you can fix it instead of keep worrying. =)

<3 Take care!

Thank god. :-)

And I've never heard of 12/24 vision, sounds... odd. Maybe it means one eye is stronger than the other? I dunno.

You're welcome. ;)

That's good news. It does for me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20/20_vision#Visual_acuity_expression However, I haven't ever seen 24/ used. It means you can see at 24 feet what most people can see at 12. However, a migraine induced blindness is a PITA. (I have occular migraines.)

Unintentional? Uh huh. :)

Whew! Man, follow up from your last post hon, glad it is not something as bad as a tumour... I guess a trip to the eye doctor is next! :-)

At least you know what your eyesight is fine. Glad you're feeling a bit better. *hugs*

*HUG* I hope that the visit to the doctor (of either capitalisation) will clear things up and get rid of any worries and what not.

Hope it's all alright! <3
