Floaters in eyes

[NishaV]

For the past 2 months iam having this black colour floaters in my eyes.Iam taking 'Eye glow' tablet and 'Just tears' drops.But the condition is same.But doctor says that there is no problem inside my eye.Whether this can be cured by any ways. Kindly suggest.And is it possible for me to go for laser treatment for removing my glass and even after that surgery whether this floaters would be seen?

As long as there is no sudden increase in floaters, flashing lights, or a curtain, veil or glass like form that blocks vision in the periphery, you should be ok. you need an eye MD of course.

Surgery is not recommended for floaters. Too risky. I have had them all my life.People with weak retinas, like me and other myopics, need to watch their floaters. An increase
can signify that the patient needs lasering, to prevent retinal detachmaent

Acronym for PVD??? What does it mean..Whether it is curable...Any idea about this...

That's PVD. Just make sure you were checked lately by an MD opthalmologist.

Hi all,

I started seeing floaters a month ago, my GP in UK doesn't want to refer me, coz she says it is liek vitrous detachement, the gel-like thing just split or something and that is probably due to my LASIK surgery (almost 2 yrs now), coz I always have dry eyes and tear at elast once a month at night.

I checked otehr things related to floaters like HIV/syphillis but all fine.....and thought it can be only surgery...tmr I am going to emergency just to check my eyes at specialist or will go private.....

Opticians say vision is 20/20 and scars are small and nice from surgery

they are annoying....my vision also seems to be hazy when entering closed places (restaurants/cinemas) after being outside.
I get depressed a lot.....but dunno.

Good luck to all,
FWK

Thanks for your reply.Its not like pepper-like floaters. Its like thin hair floating. I could see this only in light. Its not seen in dark.

Hiya there.

I've had these for years. Mine are more clear shapes though. I have one black-ish one that I see from time to time. If you look up then down again, it tends to move from the vision. After a while you will no longer notice them. I only notice them when im stressed or am looking for them.  If you eye doctor can see no other problems then your best to forget about them. I have been told in extreme cases floaters can be removed?

Hope this helps let us know how you get on.
