Since about Noon today I am having a problem w/my left eye.
All of a sudden I began having a spider web type thing in front of
my left eye. Wherever I move my focus to, it moves also. There are
areas of the web that are sorta lacy , but also a few areas that look like
they're sorta bunched up.

At first I thought it was both eyes but then tried closing each eye,
one at a time. It's driving me nuts! I've Never experienced
anything like this before.

I have poor vision anyway and really NEED both eyes to work well.
Reading anything w/the left eye is virtually impossible, including my
Computer screen, which usually is decently possible.
I haven't eaten anything different, nor taken any new supplement.

I am a 73 yr old female and a Diabetic on Insulin. Any suggestions
or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pinky

Major eye complications are linked to blood vessel problems in the eyes. Diabetes is a leading cause of preventable blindness; cataracts and glaucoma are also common. If you notice problems with your vision, call an eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) right away. Changes in vision can be a sign of severe damage to your eye. These changes can include floaters, pain in the eye, blurry vision, or new vision loss. Get well.

Thanks Bubbly; I have a regular Dr's appt this week and plan
to ask for a referral to an eye specialist.
You know how it goes - Must Have A Referral for Insurance to Pay!:thumbs_up:

I guess you are having high blood sugar attacks or low insulin production.

I agree with you black. This is one of the symptoms of high blood sugar level or some insulin disorder.
