I have been having vision problems for years, started out with lights in center of vision, kidney shaped in both eyes, about 7 years ago it happened for first time. now last 6-8 months, have problems with center field of vision, like there is a shadow keeping me from seeing completely. sometimes I have zigzag colored lights in center of vision, told this was optical migraine, no headaches. it is hard to read and drive or watch tv

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms you describe are pointing toward a retinal pathology mostly a retinal tear or a posterior vitreous detachment and both of them require a full retina work up and may require a laser too. kindly get a retina appointment an let me know.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
