Right eye.

Hi Palomino, This may be nothing, but it is hard to tell unless it can be viewed in stereo. Do you see the vessels coming out of your optic nerve (the white ball)? Do you see how it looks like they are going over a “hump”? (kind of up hill, then down again?) If they are, that suggests some mild pressure (higher intracranial pressure). Doctors often ignore this if it’s not affecting the vision (we call it “pseudo-tumor cerebri”). But if you have other symptoms of high intracranial pressure, we treat it with… drum roll please… Diamox. I’m on a mission for doctors to NOT ignore these more subtle signs. But again, the doc needs to look at this in stereo (3-D) to know for sure… I hope that helps! 🙂 Diana
