- Shortly before 9 P.M. on March 7, 2010, I turned my head to the right, then turned back to the left with eyes following to the left.
- Suddenly saw a weird "square" in the lower-right of my vision, covering about one quarter of my vision
- This 'square" was drawn as a hollow, multi-colored, zigzag pattern (see png below)

- With eyes open, "square" obscured the part of my vision that it covered--like an overlay.
- With eyes closed "square" was seen more distinctly, and when right eyeball moved, square moved with it.
- "Square" somewhat resembled normal after-image seen after looking at light source, but had more intensity, sharpness of detail, and seemed to oscillate.
- The 4 lines of the square seemed to be made of "snow" on a TV screen, but sharper and brighter.
- Since it resembled after-image, I tried looking at the lightbulb for a few seconds, then shut my eyes and saw normal after-image of light bulb, but also still saw "square"
- "Square" effect lasted 1-2 minutes, but then when it faded, for the right eye, the center of vision was clear, but the periphery was blurry.
- Left eye remained normal and clear throughout this weirdness (which gave me something to compare the right eye with)
- Washed right eye with clean cool water, didn't seem to make much difference.
- Shortly after washing right eye, slight pressure began to build and was felt in right eye, but it did not appear swollen.
- Pressure began to subside after approx. 20 minutes; blurriness persisted, but did improve.
- By next morning, right eye was normal again.
TRUE STORY
...Seriously though, this really did happen to me. In fact, I wrote all this down Sunday night, so that I could tell my doctor the eye doctor the next day, if the problem persisted--which it didn't thankfully.
But it was hella freaky (and quite a bit scary)
Like a portion of my retina had temporarily shorted out, or blown a few pixels or whatever.
Fuck, but the human body is full of oddity and mystery.
