Moving lines in eye when other shut

Recommended Posts

Please dont think me mad but when i look at a window and then at a dark item like a tv screen and close one eye I see quickly moving transparent lines.  Loads of fhem.  They are not like my usual floaters though at times I can see them.  They move down so quickly and it is scary.  I only see it if I close one eye.  Both eyes are the same.  Lots and lots of horizontal lines running down.  It is so odd I cannot even find anything on Google.  I know brain tumours can cause visual problems but I have no double vision etc. And it is only when I first look at something bright.  Having health anxiety I am now doing it all the time today.  Happened by accident yesterday.  Just watching tv  sun was bright through curtain and I touched my forehead and must have shut one eye.  Please if anyone can explain.  The lines are not all over the screen but in a sort of rectangle.

My internal physician told me that the initial symptom of most brain tumors are seizures. What you are seeing may just be a type of floater. You could also give it some time and see if things go away on there own or see an Opthamologist if they really bother you. I hope you feel better soon.

sounds like light impressions in your eyes. if you close both eyes really tight can you see the lines or shapes also, or even better?
