Yes, I know floaters are fairly untreatable, but I have a big problem. I've had cataract surgery in both eyes (around age 40) and during the initial exams, the surgeon noticed retinal tearing. Laser surgery was necessary before the cataracts could be done. After the surgery, while driving, a capillary burst or tore, and sent blood surging into my eye - it looked like an ink blot, then like a swarm of insects. It took almost a year for them to become transparent. Now they have clumped into a HUGE floater that obscures the center of my vision when ever I work on the computer or do any close work. I routinely read the middle of words wrong, and have to go back and reread to get the meaning - and at my job, that's just not acceptable. The floater is not completely opaque, but not quite transparent either.
I visit a specialist for the retinal tearing, and tell her about the vision problem, but she gets irritated with me and says there's no reason my vision should be affected. (Trust me, she wouldn't be doing surgery if she had it!) I have just moved and will see a new Dr. soon, as soon as my insurance is instated.
Any tips on how to present this, so I am taken seriously this time?
