dent in eyeball???!?

A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a flap cause I thought I had a dent in the surface of my eyeball. Wasn't sure that was supposed to happen and couldn't find anything on google about it. By the time I looked again (different mirror) a couple of hours later, everything looked normal, so I assumed I was just having a senior moment, and that there was something near my bathroom mirror causing a weird circular reflection.
However, just looked in the mirror now, and it's there again! It's definitely a dent, not just me being barmy, in exactly the same place. So this time I got photographic evidence to prove I'm not crackers.
Anyone know if this is supposed to happen to eyes? It doesn't hurt, but feels dead weird, and is making the vision in that eye a wee bit squiffy. I need an eye test anyway, so would it be a better idea to ask the optician about it then rather than go to the doctor?
:eek2:

i'd say the opticians. the doctor might just refer you to an eye doctor anyway.
I even wrote a thread about it here. Was really annoying. It went away after a day and a half though.
Let me know what the optician says.
I live in hope!
I'd go to the optitians.
As it is affecting your vision you're right to be concerned.
Book that eye test.
I went today, 2 birds with one stone and all that.
The optician said that she could see the slightest of slight bumps on the outer edge of my iris (same place the weird dent was), but that it didn't look like anything to worry about. She didn't know why or how I had it, or if it would be back, but she had a good old look around, and didn't say 'omgz your eyes are going to explode!', so I think it was a :thumb:
On the down side, I need glasses
Me neither! I don't know what it is about my face, but I just look ridiculous in all pairs of glasses. I've had some in the past, but cause I only need them for reading and close work, I'd just 'forget' to put them on, just sit further back from whatever I'm doing (I'm long sighted), and eventuall lose them.
But got a bit of a telling off today, apparently my eyes aren't in alignment, and they'll get worse if I don't wear them, so will have to bite the bullet, and drag Mr. K along, try on a variety of frames and buy the ones he laughs at least.
