    Another thing people sometimes overlook is the possibility of a "mini-stroke". I have had several that affected my vision temporarily. As you describe, like a gray colored shade appears in one eye and has affected different parts of my field of vision. Sometimes it is horizontal, sometimes vertical. Have had them occur in both eyes, but never at the same time. They last 30 minutes or less, but scare ya pretty good. Retinas always look great after having one and have been ruled out as an issue.

    I had that a couple of months ago. I have a big floater I call "the rabbit" I stopped hitting the brakes when it hops across my vision a while back. Still annoying. I might get a vitrectomy.
    It's really obscuring the vision in my right eye right now. He says I'll get used to it. It's annoying AF

    People often adjust to it. If it obscures your vision, that's another thing entirely. Maybe we can get BOGO vitrectomies....

    As an old Fart I see all my handfull of doctors once a year. Saw my eye doctor last week, still 20/20 and no reading glasses needed. He told me what ever I am doing keep it up. I just whish I could if you get my meaning.
