    In work today one of my collegues mentioned my eyes where very red and was something wrong,I said no as I didnt notice anything,about 5 mins later I got blurred vision from the bottom of my eyes,after that the blurring moved from bottom to top left with what I can only describe as a blurry streak across my eyes,I was very warm at this stage too so I decided to go home as I use computers in work and could barely see the screen,after I hot the air and walked around the blurring lessened and is still the same now,any ideas?I got freaked out as I had laser surgery about 5 years ago.

    any sudden blurring of vision like that can be serious. could be retinal problems, detechment etc. It could be less serious but you should never take the chance
    You need to see an optician or ophthalmologist ASAP.
    don't waste time going to a GP.
