I'm having tunnel vision in one eye. The outside areas are dark, but I keep getting what looks like flashes of lights and I see what looks like black snow falling in the air. Even if I close or cover the eye, I get the flashes in it. No pain, but I can't see.
Am I shorting out? Blood pressure, maybe?

I have diabetes, but this is new. One eye is fine, the other is out of whack.

floaters,ie little black things heff go as quick as possible to an eye dr they will dialate your eyes sounds like bleeding from abnormal blood vessels, high blood pressure and diabetes combined, it needs to be stopped by laser surgery to your eye,ie cauterize[sp] the abnormal vessels to stop bleeding, dont wait, i was blind for two yrs w/this, diabetic retinopathy look it up on the web,it might take actual surgery to fix the problem, that is a vitrectomy look up that also for more info, man i hope to god its something else and im wrong ROBERT

It may be diabetic retinopathy. Get yourself to a doctor ASAP Danny. Please don't fool around or delay it. Pronto!!!
Sounds like a migrane to me, but see your doctor right away !!
My thoughts exactly. You have not just tunnel vision but snowflakes. To the extent that some are thinking "stroke," snowflakes might be good news. It sounds like a migraine.
But as TexasVet said, see your doctor anyway, and do it NOW.
Keep us posted. Meanwhile, you're in the "I hope it works out well" section of my mind.
