Why am I seeing a Weiss ring floater since the age of 10-Myopic(but little)
Hi !
I got eye floaters since the age of 10. I have seen a Weiss ring type of floater(I asume it by the description). I also have a cobweb floater in both eyes. I see them in both eyes. I dont know if it is a Weiss ring(as that is always caused by a PVD).
However, i am now 16 and still have them. I dont see any new ones. It started in 2008. I can ignore them.
I have seen 2 ophtalmologists and both stated I do not have a PVD or any type of retinal disease. Both said that the vitreus is OK, the retina is perfect. Both checked my eyes with a Slit lamp, Ophtalmoscope and the second one with a OCT(he is a retinal specialist). And said that I have a healthy retina with no PVD.
He said that he has no explenation for my floater.

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
You have had very complete exams of your eyes, including a dilated retinal exam. Since there is no retinal tear, detachment, or hemorrhage in the eye, the floaters are not dangerous. If there is a sudden increase in the floaters, or a shower of new ones, you need to be examined again right away.
I have a weiss ring in my right eye and no other medical problems.
