I need help... I think. My left eye switches frm time to time into this grey mode or something, and everything goes grey. It just happened for the third time.I don't have a clue why it happens and it only last maybe 5 minutes so I never have evidence when I go to the doctors. heh. not that i ever do go

Go to an opticians or a doctors. I know you hate them but seriously. Have you ever thought that it might be better for you being scared and going than being ill and not?
(and you changed your sig :crying: )
However, you havnt suffered any loss of vision, so I would say that your not going blind.
Visit the doctor.. Its the only way you'll get some answers.
when it goes grey, i may as well be blind. you cant see a thing
I'll ask my mum and dad about making an appointment but, the opticians will just give me glasses and I don't want glasses.
Well stop your moaning and go blind then.
Glasses ain't that bad mate. If you need them the optician will sit with you and go through as many pairs of frames that you want till you find the right pair. They'll even advise on which type of frame would suit your face-shape.
Just think yourself lucky. When I had to first start wearing glasses it was the NHS thick-black framed kind. I hated them so I never wore them. As a result I have to wear glasses pretty much all the time now.
Considered contact lenses?
my dad says i have to get the free kind tho - and they all have 'harry potter' on :crying: or something. and the optician never gave me any advice :mad:
I got my glasses for only £30 in the end & they would've cost over £120 if I wasn't in full time education @ the time.
They are some nice matt black framed fcuk jobbies & I like them. But I just wear my contacts instead
Opticians do specialise in the eye.
They can't actually do much with them, though, other than prescribe glasses/other vision aids...I think maybe they can prescribe certain drugs, or will be able to in the future.
A GP is the best bet, as they will be able to refer you to the correct specialist.
