floater
Iam 15 and highly myopic (7 in RE and 5 in LE). I have had 3 or 4 floaters for many years. I also have black hair like floater. What causes this black hair like floater. Will it lead to retinal detachment. I dont have any other problems like flashing lights or curtains etc. Note: i have had these black floaters for many years. So should i be concerned of a retinal detachment?
