Just keep an eye on it, no pun intended.

I had iicp, increased intracranial pressure, for six months after the injury I sustained. It's not always detectable by an ophthamologist - especially early on.

IICP is a cyclical condition, so if you have it and your brain or body isn't able to control it, it will get worse. So if you start to get headaches that get worse and worse and are so severe that you can't really do anything, or if you have an ongoing headache that doesn't go away for days or weeks, or if you lose vision or become very nauseous, then it's time to go back to see a Dr.

I think keeping a log of your symptoms is a good idea too.

Take care!

ps. Thanks Mark! - I've had a lot of floaters since the concussion I sustained too. When I had the iicp, I did see different colors, but not since then. And lately they have gotten better.
