connection between eye floaters and autoimmune disease

[tancevski]

Please doctors tell me is there any connection between increasing floaters and diseases like: CRP, ACE, ANA, ANCA, Herpes Simplex, Zoster, EBV Virus, Sarcoidosis, Amiloidosis. My eye doctor is suggestion to make these entire tests because my floaters are increasing every day. What is your suggestion about this?

You will need to get that information from the Eye Md that has actually examined your eye.

Simply which test is proper for posterior uveitis???

[tancevski]

Doctor I have goldman eye test before 10 hours and I don’t have any sign of inflammation or uvetis. But my floaters are increasing every day. Are there any reasons to do all this tests or this condition is from only degenerations without connection or relationship with all this tests? Maybe Fluorescent angiography test can help to determinate any sign of posterior uveitis that is invisible from goldman test, or goldman test is enough??? What do you thing?  I m only 25 years old!
I have post a several time on this forum and you help me a lot. Thank you very much for all information.

If you have floaters because of inflammation in the back of the eye (posterior uveitis) then that work up is appropriate. Many of those are not diseases but tests.  Ask your MD if you have uveitis. If so you need a work up.
