Quake3World

but why only in one eye though?

So who should I see, a doctor or optician?

what would you do if you were playing a game like quake and all of a sudden your eye popped out?

id cut the fucker of and cover the hole with gaffa tape and carry on playing :icon19:

Wearing an eyepatch would be cool... then having a sword. Could be a ninja pirate!

Many opticians are pretty experienced with a slit lamp (dunno if the plans to get them in on the screening of diabetic retinopathy etc. got carried through), but to be honest it'd need to be an ophthalmologist. Talk to your GP about it; it might well be that there's nothing to see on your retina, but it's always prudent to have a good look and make sure there's nothing to see.

I've got no idea why it's only in one eye. You can get similar symptoms from eye strain, though - when I was doing pathology as a student and spending hours a day staring down a microscope, I used to come out of the lab and notice that one eye was seeing much brighter than the other. Just one more reason to hate pathology....

another medical question:

if an alcoholic smells strongly of piss, but their clothes are clean - does it indicate some sort of booze-related lurgey?

Or somebody didn't piss in their beer. :icon19:
