Drusen

Some time ago I developed a gray cloud in my left eye. It was rather dark and had a fixed position. Now the cloud is thinner and irregular and I can read through it. The cloud changes shape, which it did not do previously. Can you please tell me what is going on and what it means? My thanks for any information you can give.

Thank you for your reply. I am under the care of a retina specialist. I will call him and ask him about this.

I can't tell you for sure obviously over the internet. It is not drusen. Most likely its a vitreous detachment. Use the search feature and read about. You should be under the care of an ophthalmologist. See him/her next week to evaluate.
