I have a question, can average floaters of the eye become magnified or shall I say more conspicuous when one is highly myopic? I'm very myopic and I've notice that floaters always getting in my vision in dim lighting making it difficult to read, etc. However when my eyes are dilated by medicated eye drops or... by other means ;^D I do not notice the floaters at all, they'r pretty invisible to me in a way. Same goes for very lit rooms too, I don't notice them much in those cases.
I had been diagnosed with recurring CSR in my right eye about a year ago (I have had it also 2 years ago). Now both my eyes are full of floaters, (I mean everywhere, big, small, stringy, cloudy you name it) I've developed sensitivity to light and visual snow (that hinders my night vision significantly). My right eye has dimmer vision than the left (like going down 2 scales on the brightness of a monitor) and washed out colour perception. >>
@Helladius666 >> In addition to the above symptoms, every morning (and for several hours) I get this scintillating flash in the middle of my right eye's visual field. This is somehow diminished as the day progresses and by noon is usually gone. No ophthalmologist (retina specialists) so far has been able to identify anything unusual. Nor have the neurologists I've gone too, I'm 40 years old, x-pro athlete with absolutely no health issues up to this moment (aside an RCL knee surgery)..
Hi there! I'm 21 years old and otherwise healthy. Last spring I started noticing eye floaters, prior to this I have never once noticed them in my vision. Since then, I would say I have somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty or more spots, strands, rings, all kinds of twisted cell-like shapes in my vision. It is incredibly aggravating during the day. This summer I went to an eye doctor and was told I have nothing to worry about. Should I get a second opinion? I see new floaters now and then.
If your floaters affects you psychologically and you can't live with them, if they interfere with the quality of life and your job,etc... you can do laser vitreolisys or a vitrectomy which is becoming more safe... please stop saying that floaters are benign because it's possible that they are not for the overall health because of the psychological issues related to them that only disappears when they are removed.Trust me. I had them from 10 years and now that I'm free my problem I can enjoy life
@rfsapiens Thanks for the correction. It is good to hear about some one successfully being rid of the floater. For the vast majority of people it is a benign annoyance that goes away but like you, some people are affected by the floater much more significantly. I have seen a couple videos of LAZER vitreolysis. It is pretty cool. Thanks again.
@justinsparhawk Thanks for your reply :) It's good to hear that doctors are becoming more sympathetic about this issue and willing to treat this condition which in some cases can affect a person's life. It feels amazingly good to be free of floaters after 1 decade of it ;) I just replied to say that people can have a choice if they can't life with them and mostly if they interfere with your life. :) Yes laser vitreolysis is a valid treatment also unfortunely not many doctors do it. Regards :)
@rfsapiens LOL! Although this was funny the way you said it, I'm glad you did. It was very true. Did you have any side effects from your procedure? I viewed a few pages to check out the side effects and they sound risky, especially for the eye. So, what's your opinion on this matter? Thanks
@CALICOTV301 Hello I did it in both eyes with 15 days space between them. I didn't / don't have any side effects at all. The recovery was very fast. It has some risks but in younger people when the operation is successfull then the risks are very low. I think that vitrectomy is an effective solution and if you can't really support your floaters then it's a viable route to consider. Regards
Hello, I just a surgery to have my wisdom teeth pulled out.. and after I began to see floaters on my left eye. What could of happen to me??? or what do you think??? i really need help, because its depressing me. I never have had eye problems
@MrDjkike Most likely it is coincidence that you noticed the floaters after the surgery. However it would be a good thing to get the eyes checked. There is a very small chance that by straining very hard because of pain or something there could be some disruption of tissues in the eyes. That is not likely though, probably coincidence. And again, small floaters, though annoying, are typically NOT truly problematic and in fact are not treatable. Get it checked though, just in case.
gud explanation sir- i to had 24 floaters in both eyes for last 4 months, got my eyes checked with 3 best doctors in india - all say no retinal detechment all is fine - they just come - i am just 30 yrs now so how long i have to bear them - they suggest me not to go for vitrectomy operation as it may cause complications- what to do now - what to spray on these bugs and worms in my eyes :((
i never knew what a floater was. when i went to get contacts a few months ago for the first time, they asked me if i see floaters and i said no. the doctor checked my eyes, said they were healthy. well today i don't do this very often at all, but i looked at the morning sky, and saw the tiny squiggly line. i only saw it when looking at the sky. i never ever noticed this before at all.
thanks for this video. I noticed floaters in my eye about a week ago. im 16 and wear contact lenses. Im exptremely paranoid when it comes to my eye. Floaters are so damn annoying, will floaters eventually go away? i hate them its annoying and inconvenient! if i were to do lasik surgery in the future, would that fix it???
great video i got the 3rd kind the curtain type and now thanks to this video it all makes sense.. People were going round that floaters aint bad but if you got the curtain type it seriously hampers your vision.. Theres a weak spot in my retina that needs to be lasered and the floaters are to such an extend that it needs to be done with laser or vitrectomy yet to see what it is..
HELP!! i dont know if what i have is a floater, but I have been seeing a black spot in my left eyes vision, well about 3 months ago i got into a fight with my brother and i got beat up pretty bad
and since then i can see a black mosqueto type dot in my eye and when i look around it follows my eye. its verry hard to ignore and sometimes i forget and try to swipe it away from my face but only to remember thats its not a real mosquito and its always there annoying me everyday.
@22OVADOSE I appologize for not seeing this post before now. If you have not done so already, go in to an eye doctor right away. A normal floater is fine but one that appears as a result of trauma is not.
Great video post. Recently, I was having blurry vision out of my right eye. I went see the optometrist and he explained to me that I developed whats called Ideopathic Central Serous Choroidopathy. He said that I had a blister like appearance somewhere around the retina. He told me that there is no treatment and that time will heal the condition. The optometry office took photos of my retina which I must go back next month too see if the condition is improving. So far, it has improved a bit
I ran across a video about treatment for floaters. I had suspected something like this could be done but honestly had never heard of it being done. Got to oclaservision and watch the vitreous floater videos.
