Weird issue with my eye

Just happened. Makes me think of retinal fatigue, when you see the afterimage of something that’s not there anymore. Except that I wasn’t staring at anything for a long period of time; not even my phone.
As I type this, a spinning block of colors blocks the view of parts of the screen. If I move my eye to look directly at the spot, it moves. Always to the right. Lol I’m often afraid of retinal damage. I was fine till a minute ago.

I wonder what caused this. I stepped outside to turn off the swamp cooler connection, then went back inside to get some food from the freezer. Nothing weird. Now something is wrong with my eye. I would think maybe I got battery acid dust in it from the car earlier, but it would have happened hours ago so I doubt that’s what the issue is. (If there are a bunch of mistakes in my writing right now, it’s because the words are blocked by the weird spinning colors)

It sounds like you’re experiencing something quite unsettling. The spinning colors and vision issues you're describing could indeed be related to retinal fatigue or even a migraine aura, especially if you didn’t have a specific trigger like prolonged screen time.

It’s always better to check with a professional if you’re concerned about your eye health. In the meantime, try to rest your eyes and avoid any potential irritants.
