Vision in my left eye is not readjusting properly (i.e sunny outside to dark room inside)

[Gravyv]

I went to the va er today but they sent me away with a referral for a eye specialist. The doc only did a brief check on my eye with his flash light and said I'll need to see a specialist with better equipment. In the meantime, I know there are guys in the medical field on here, so I was wondering if I could get your input.

This problem with my eyes started 6 days ago. I don't think there was any overt cause I just remember watching something on t.v and I was seeing glares. I figure I'll give it a few days and now were here with only a minor improvement.

It appears the problem is mostly with the left eye because when I only look with my right things look clearer. But with the left eye things appear darker and it takes longer to focus. The issue becomes obvious when I'm using both eyes, and it looks like a monitor with a messed up refresh rate. It must be something related to light adaptation. When I come in from outside it takes longer for my left eye to clear up, and it doesn't clear up completely.

The only thing I can think of it i've been taking kratom for the past 1.5yrs for pain management. I still took tramadol on some bad days, and gabapentin once a day.

Don't fuck around and go to the eye doctor.

Also, not sure what's going on but maybe get a surgery for the pain or look to other means besides the above. You kin of have 2 "things" going on.

Why are you taking tramadol? Admittedly I dont know much about it but just googling it it looks like bad stuff

Its a pseudo-opiate. Its considered the little sister to hydrocodone and more powerful than Tylenol. But ton of people take this with gabapentin without eye issues.

How old are you? It doesn't sound serious really. I get funkiness with my left eye here and there as far as focusing and some other issues. I would definitely go to a specific eye doctor and get checked out. Things like blood pressure and medications can definitely effect your vision but dont worry yourself. Just go to the eye doc. I just hope that when they fix your eyes that you don't realize your girlfriend is ugly. (last sentence was a joke).

I just think you're getting old dude, it happens to the best of us. If the er dr. didn't freak out I wouldn't worry too much. Please keep us posted no one talks about eye problems much on here so I would be interested in seeing what this is?
