Floaters and pressure
The other day I felt a lot of pressure in my eye. Now I have multiple floaters, about 4 I can see, and am a little fussy in that eye. I also am seeing occasionaly flashes in the same eye. I am having headdaches that feel like eye strain related as the muscles around that eye feel strained.
I have had floaters before, singles mostly, but I never felt this pressure before. I am 55 years old, and am in good health. What do you recommend I do.

Yes, sudden floaters require an Eye MD ophthalmologist to make a dilated exam. Find one at www.aao.org
