Why do I go semi-blind if I stare at one spot for to long?This has happened for almost as long as I can remember, but now its kind of starting to scare me. Basically what happens is, if I stare at one spot for to long a white-ness seems to storm my eyes. Is this a sign of glaucoma or some other eye disease? Here is a side note, I have something called "Cupped eye nerves" or something like that. I recently had my eyes checked for glaucoma and the results were negative, but im not so sure. Can someone PLEASE help me, im freaking out.
By ther way, please dont comment if youre just going to say, "Go to your doctor." obviously I am, I just would like some opinions on what maybe going on. Thanks

glaucoma is virtually symptomless.
