Floaters all my life
by Jameskuk, Jun 11, 2008 05:14AM
Hi,
I've been reading on this forum about people with floaters and seeing responses that they can dissolve and disappear over time. My problem is that i've had floaters in my right eye as long as I can remember.. When I was at college 5 years ago I could focus on the floaters in my right eye, and they have the same pattern today.. all bunched together. Since then my eyes have picked up more floaters.. they look like small fibres and strands of hair. Is there any treatment to get rid of these? I'm hoping I can use some sort of eye drops.. Please help.

Doctor's Answer
I have floaters but coz I had LASIK surgey ecevn though iot coems with stress also.
I went for dialted retina test (do that), it shows ur DR. if you have any eye diseases.
My Dr. said that my brain will learn to forget them and I should too...so I do
Go for 6-12 month checks and should be fine.
Good luck and take care,
