I have been having these weird vision problems that don't seem to be directly related to my tumors. Its only happened a few times, 5 at the most in the past 4 months, but I get this weird pattern going on on the left side of my visual field. Its like a kaleidescope type thing, and its on a semi circle kinda line and I see it even with my eyes closed. It only lasts for a few minutes, but it is very weird when it happens. Anyone have any idea what this is, my neuro doc had no idea and my eye doc says my eyes are fine.

" Interesting, my vision is getting worse I know, my tumor was found two years ago and supposedly it is not big enough to cause any problems, but my optometrist seemed to think there was build up of cerebeal fluid behind my eyes when I seen him last month.


My tumor is a mennignoma or something like that, I forgot how to spell it. Supposedly a real little one.

Have yet to visit the nuero who is monitoring my tumor, yet!


Any suggestions? Other than follow through. This is so new to me, but I feel sometimes that my life has taken a whole new turn I am not fond of. Having trouble at work also. Due to my eyesight and my brain function - things just go round in circles some days. "

" I still have some vision problems a lot like that. Sometimes it's spots, or lines, and just strange cloudiness in my eye and I don't know where it's coming from. Your eyes probably are fine (that's what they tell me too) I always assumed it was a reaction to light or straining. Ya never know for sure though "

" I have had 2 tumors in my sinus/brain area. After my second tumor which was cancerous I had to have pin point radiation I went through a time spurt were I actually went blind in my right eye for a few minutes and while my vision was coming back it looked like I was looking through a piece of guaze. My neurologist, ent, and eye dr. all said I was fine. It only lasted about 2 months. "

" my dad was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme today & it's located at the top of the spine dam smack in the middle of his brain, exactly behind the sinuses & optic nerve - roughly the size of an egg. he had surgery on nov 5th & they only removed 40%. he will start radiation & pill form chemo for one month, 5 days a week. but we were told if he did no treatment he would go blind within months & with treatment still a good chance he could go blind in 3-4 years.
so I am assuming the colors & lines tricks will come if this thing grows. reading all these helps me, you have no idea. please add me as your friend so we can keep in contact. "
