Please contact an eye specialist as soon as possible. Anything pertaining to your eyes should not be ignored. I'm a 50 year old lady who had cataracts on both eyes (behind the lenses) at 48 years of age. My eyesight went from 20/20 to 20/70 in a matter of a few months (3 to be exact). I've since had Lens Implants and am doing much better. I wish you all the best of luck. I don't know what the black swirls are that you refer to but I now have floaters that will remain with me (little black dots that appear at random). They are not dangerous - more of a nuisance but please get checked out and let us know how you fare out. Take care!

Good advice. I had a bad mess of floaters in my left eye last year and found out I had a hole in my retina. Had to have surgery which went very well and then this year I got the cataract that I was warned I'd get, had it removed and now I can see really well.

Visual disturbances should never be ignored. In fact, an appointment should be made immediately. Please contact an opthalmologist as soon as possible. (I'm an R.N.)

That's fantastic advice. Mine turned out to be a hole in my retina.

Get it checked with an opthalmologist.
