Are you experiencing a jelly-like blob blocking vision in one eye?

What you're describing sounds like it could be eye floaters, which are a known vision issue with MS. Eye floaters can appear as spots, blobs, or shapes that seem to drift across your field of vision. They're often more noticeable when looking at bright backgrounds.

MS can affect vision in several ways, including:

* Optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve)
* Eye floaters
* Blurred vision
* Double vision
* Nystagmus (uncontrolled eye movements)

Since this is a new symptom for you and different from the blurred vision and black spots you've experienced before, it's important to report it to both your neurologist and an eye doctor. Even though there's no pain, new vision changes should always be evaluated to determine if they're MS-related or something else that needs specific treatment.

A MyMSTeam member shared similar experiences with vision changes: "My vision goes really dark to really bright, which gives me a headache."

Your healthcare team can perform a complete eye exam and possibly an MRI to check for any new lesions affecting your optic nerve or the parts of your brain that control vision. This will help them track your MS progression and ensure your current treatment is working effectively for you.
