Just to update you, I got hold of an advice nurse, who consulted with a doctor and then set me up to see an ophthalmologist. Took me a week altogether to see one. He put drops in my eyes to dilate them, among other things, says my eyes look in good shape. The capillaries feeding the eyes are very tiny, so sometimes something in the bloodstream can cause a brief blockade. He recommends I get my cholesterol checked, and maybe have a complete physical. I'll pursue that shortly.
One bothersome thing. Among other things, he gave me a vision test. It seemed very hokey, and brief. Then he printed out a prescription for reading glasses. All well and good, but the eye doctor I had before, and whom I really liked (but she's not part of Kaiser) would give extremely detailed vision interrogations ("which is clearer, this or this") to come up with a prescription. And this new dude's prescription is nowhere close to her prescription. I just trust hers a lot more. But now that we're on Kaiser, I have this dude.
Oh well....
