red or blue patches/spots

Question
My 13 year old daughter sees red or blue patches when see wakes up from sleep. Kindly advise


Answer
Dear Kamran,



She could be describing a normal visual image which all see but she percieves it more, esp if seeing agaist bright light.



However, if the eye doctor has examined and found nothing abnormal, do not worry.



there is no eye condition which has such 'colours' as a sign, it is very subjective.

So, if not got her eyes checked, request you to do the same.



Also, check or rule out any allergies or sinusitis as headaches/ migraines also have visual symptoms.



Hope this helps,

Best,

Dr Shroff
