How to stop the new FLOATERS being formed. Please reply me .

I feel like floaters are increasing in my eyes day to day. i attended retinal tests in 3 hospitals, everything was perfect

and i donyt have any retinal tears.

What to do to control the new floaters ??

then ignore floater's & reconsult only if you see sudden onset of large floater with big eye flashes in dark room (it doesn't mean that normal sudden flash/aftereffect of light when one moves from bright light room to dark room)

welcome

Thanking you very much.

I was tested at an ophthalmologist with dilation drops , he said no retinal tears and my eyes are perfect.

Shall i go for another ophthalmologist for confirmation ? Or nothing to worry ?

Des900 , i really thankful to you once again ..

Eye Floater's will increase as one ages & many people will not notice them or ignore it most of the time.

There are certain internal diseases which can trigger vitreous floater like Posterior Vireous Detachment,Retina Tear,Retina Detachment,Diabetic Retinopathy,posterior Uveitis etc & these diseases may also be accompanied by blurring,sever eye pain,flashes in dark room etc so consultation with a ophthalmologist is required.if you experience these other symptoms along with floater.

Floater's can also be caused by blunt trauma to eye so always wear protective glasses while outing.

Many lines,specks & bubbles that we may see when waking up or when placing too much attention to eye like when trying to see with one eye closed not necessarily be vitreous floater it may be tear film debris due to dry eye,blood flow across retina etc

So a tip for ignoring floater is to never look at plane sky or background with one eye closed & also look at far objects as it is also comfortable for eye to look at far objects than looking at close objects like floater.

Thank you very much.

but i need to know whether the floaters increase day to day.

If so, what are the precautions to be taken to prevent the new floaters being formed.

Consult an ophthalmologist regarding those floater,he may check for any internal diseases that might have triggered the floater's.,If he says eye look healthy then just ignore it,there is no point in obsessing with floater's as it is a normal part of life,too much attention to it can only make your situation worse.

I like a post made buy a person in another forum, I'll quote it here

'i've had floaters for 10 years and i have now got used o them and dont notice so much but when i first got them i was terrified. theyare nothing to worry about and are harmless and not a sign of anything bad, i did notice that as soon as i stopped worrying they werent so dark

netty

the dreams of the future are better than the history of the past '


Good luck!
