retina detachment
i see black round and thread like floaters in my eyes from last 10 to 15 years. My power is -8.5. My doctor checked my retina and advices me visit him again after a month. meanwhile doctor has suggested me to put 'I-ste' drops in my eyes and take v-rat tablets.Is it a retina detachment problem. Is it recoverable?
Thank you sir for kind advice. Your last sentence showed me some hope. My doctor is MD (Oph) and i will be in his guidance. Thanx once again.

Your "eye doctor" should be a MD physician ophthalmologist (have MD after his/her name not an OD which is a limited care non physician optometrist). If you do see an Eye MD follow your doctors instructions. If you are not seeing an eye MD see one. Find one at www.aao.org
