I have developed a blind spot on the lower right section of my left eye. Now about 1/3 of the vision in that is blocked. It looks like a partial eclipse.

I don’t know what it is. I’m going to go in to see a doctor next week.

That is pretty classic torn retina.. I had that and it was very difficult to deal with, six surgeries and silicon oil in the eye. After three years, I have most vision recovered in the eye now with some distortion where the tear was repaired by laser re-attachment.

Do it now!!

I had what sounds like the same thing a year ago! Detached retina! If so, it is a medical emergency! Go directly to a Retina Surgeon this afterhoon...not an optometrist or opthalmologist...if you don't want total black blindness in that eye. The fix in my case was an eye surgery called a vitrectomy. Happily, it was caught (barely) in time and my sight was saved. It was an easy, painless procedure and is a bread and butter surgery for Retina specialist. They should pretty much drop what they are doing to take care of you. Good luck!
