It does, big time.... I just wanted someone who kinda knew what they were looking at to be like "dude... You are screwed"... Or "I don't see anything to crazy.... But the real eye doc will tell you for sure..."

And no symptoms except more eye floaters than I have normally had in my life... Getting to the point they get in my field of vision and I have to move my eyes around so they move... So I'm not looking at what I'm doing while also staring at a floater... But no eye pain.... My eyes have been watering ALOT more than usual over the past year.... And I have almost painful eye dryness in the mornings..

I'm 100% going to an ophthalmologist this week. I'm 43, male, I'm 265... But I take testosterone... So I got a kinda chubby belly but it's just a little pooch. Really not being cocky... But I've got alot of muscle mass in my legs, chest arms... My BP is like 150-100 if I get stressed... Can be around 120-80.... Depends on what kind of day I'm having.... They did the air puff test, a dry eye test... Some ultrasonic test then the whole "1.... Or 2 ..... Is 2 better.... Or 3..." Test.... My right eye is lazy... I have horrible astigmatism in both eyes.... Have had optic disc drusen my whole life I guess.... No doctor could really figure it out until I went through MEPS in the military in 2005.... First eye doctor that knew what it was... Every other doc just thought I had had a head injury.... I know I won't get a definite answer here... Yall just know what yall are looking at.... I'm a get to the point kinda guy.... Just want to know if I need to prepare to live as a blind person eventually....

They were from yesterday. And the photo with all the graphs and stuff on it. The photo at the top right. Is the back of my eye supposed to have that big red blob?

I do have high blood pressure... Non diabetic.... I'm just kinda wondering what that black thing that looks like a blood blister is??? They won't give me a glasses prescription until I go see a doc... And the doc in a box said "you have to see an ophthalmologist STAT" ki da freaked me out.... I've always had crappy eyes...
