I think I have Entoptic phenomenon?

[Michael1337]

I have "floaters" and I also see black things everywhere no matter WHAT I look at, it's also 24/7...
I think I might have Blue field entoptic phenomenon?
Anyways, I'm gonna see an Opthamologist and see what he says... but are there any eye drops or anything that can STOP this vision that I see? It's getting very annoying and I've been thinking negative in my life because of this... I just want to see normal... do I need surgery? Also, if I do need surgery, is it risky or dangerous?
Thank you.

Hi doctor ive been seeing a lot of eye floaters, an increase actually, but im not sure if it is a vitreous,or retinal detachment(or retinal tear)... last time i went to a doctor, he checked my eyes as any other eye appointment, after that i asked ive been seeing an increase in floaters, he said as long as you dont see flashes and a darkness over your field of vision your fine.. but i see more than just 3 or 4.... And in every eye apppointment do doctors check for vitreous detachments or retinal detachments.. im only 12 im freaking out...

please and thank you

No it can be observed with a blue background even a light whitish. There are instruments that use "blue fields" to allow people to see the circulation in their eye. Other situations might be shining light through closed lids.

Hay doc! What is treatment of blue field entoptic phenomena..

[John C Hagan III, MD, FACS, FAAO]

No treatment is needed its a normal part of the way the eye works. If any treatment quit obsessing on it and move on with your life.

I don't have anxiety...what can I do to get rid of this?

[John C Hagan III, MD, FACS, FAAO]

Entopic phenomena are part of normal vision. Hyperawareness is often fueled by high anxiety levels.
