Gray cloud left eye

[Larry Hazel]

Two days ago, I noticed a small gray cloud in what I see
with my left eye. I see it only when I cover my right eye.
Don't know how long it has been there.

Anyone know what it might be?

I'm going to call my ophthalmologist tomorrow for an
appointment.

Cataract perhaps?

If anyone is interested, my ophthalmologist said this was
caused by swelling of the upper part of the optic nerve
which was probably caused by an ischemic stroke in the optic
nerve. He said there is nothing he can do about it and it
might get better, but might not.

I guess the only thing to say is I wish you the best of luck
with this situation.
