Medical encyclopedia online
Sorry to post this here, but asnyone knows a link to a medical website, where you post the symptoms and do a search for possible medical conditions?
I´m having a problem that is scarying me to death. My eyes get all "glazed", and i can´t see shiit!! It´s been happening quite a lot, latelly. It only lasts for a 20 or so minutes, then it goes back to normal.
At first i thought it was me starying at the monitor for too many hours on end, but this happens even when i´m not working, nor watching TV...
Shiit, i don´t want to go blind....
:shaking:
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

go to an optician; they are far better qualified to diagnose any problem than you can by looking at an online textbook.  I'd also suggest looking at screens less; even if it's not occurring whilst your looking at them, overuse may still be causing it.

Yeah, go see a doctor. They'll help you out. That's what they're here for.
EDIT: btw, my dad's an ophthalmologist (that's an eye doctor) and I've never heard him mention anything that sounds like what you're describing. It sounds to me like your eyes are getting dried out or something. Anyway, go see a doctor. :nod:

a family practice doc will refer him to an eye specialist if it's something serious. It doesn't matter, he should just see someone who knows what they're talking about.

It seems it turns out to be good old eye fatigue, or eye stress, due to too much computer gaming.
But it got me spooked, a few hours ago, when i couldn´t even see what i was typing...

i can take a history and tell you what i think but i really really really advise you not to trust the diagnosis of a medical student. on the whole i wouldn't trust internet sites which a layman can understand. the reliable net websites would be the ones full of technical terminology no one really gets anyway.

just advice for next time, you know.

When I graduate, I'm going to be a doctor, and people are going to come to me looking for treatment and prescription drugs, and I'm going to give it to them. Is anyone scared yet?
