Vision Probem: Seeing "Texture"???

Greetings,

Strange problem hit me last night and has not subsided. Whenever I look at
any surface, I am seeing an overlay of some kind of "pixelated texture", for
want of a better term.

Kind of like the texture you get from a computer screen? Almost like I am
looking "through" a computer screen. Not really "fuzzy", just that
everything has that "overlay", almost like a really subtle "mesh", and looks
like it has texture to it (even if it is really smooth and flat). Distance
does not seem to matter, though it seems to improve on really close items
(less than 12" or so).

Anyone heard of this? It's actually getting me a bit worried, as it is kind
of strange, and has never happened to me before.

I was using a rather large monitor (21"), the last week, bigger than I am
normally used to. Honestly don't know if that had anything to do with it,
but I went back to my smaller monitor for now, just in case.

Still, seems awfully strange.......will call my dr. if it persists, but
wanted to post here to get some ideas, or see if anyone has heard of this
before.

It's alway better to get an internet diagnosis than actually getting
examined by a doctor. Good move.

Dr. Judy,

My thanks for the (polite) reply, went to the ER last night, they really did
not do much (not that I expected them to, shined a light in my eyes checking
for bleeding, and did an eye test, did not even get a CT out of it :-), said
it "might" be an ocular migraine or eye strain, though both seem odd since
it has been going on for about 30 hours straight now (and the symptom seems
unusual, even to them).

Que sera sera, will call my doc on Monday and go from there.

Have no idea what it could be, everything is still slightly "pixelated", for
lack of a better description......will see what next week brings.

Is it one eye or both eyes? When I had something similar in one eye
and was ignored and told it was nothing, it eventually turned out to
be malignant melanoma.

hi

i know what your experiencing...and the doctors i have seen (a total
of 5) dismissed my syptoms and thought of it weird...the last one
suggested i have an MRI (will have one as soon as i have the money coz
it is too expensive. lol). i suggest you see as many doctors as you
can until u find the right one.

sometimes when people walk by, they are followed by a shadow or
somesort of halo. also, when i look at things that are stationary,
they become wavy or seem to move. i had an OCT Scan on both eyes
(twice on my right eye) and results came out normal (but still havent
let the doctor read my results...will do it tomorrow. lol) and i have
been diagnosed with dry eyes. sometimes i dunno if my eyes hurt coz of
the dry eyes or something else.

does anyone here experience those things. i have gone crazy and my
life has changed since i experienced these things last january. you
response would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Could it be some kind of a moire effect? Is it possible it is a fault of the
monitor rather than your eyes? I would expect to see something like that
more often TV sets rather than monitors.

What happens if you look at the screen closely using a magnifying glass or a
loupe? Do you still see a mesh with the same characteristics?
