Floaters Surgery?!

Floaters Surgery?

I had floaters in my vision since I was little. There are not the dust particles. There are the dark annoying ones that do not change. I named them, they have been with me since I can remember. I do have other health issues (which I can blame my floaters on). When I ask the eye doctor they tell me I have to live with it. I don't beleive that, they are dark and when I feel under the weather they make me stomatch sick. Do they offer surgery to remove these spots? I would love to see without them

Me, thanks for your reply. They are dark. I have a couple light but the dark ones are in my way when I work at the computer (they move) but they are dark. I just worry how much vision I will have if I get anymore

Actually there is surgery for this. But as indicated, risk. You'd be operating on a 'normal' eye for floaters.

There are a number of conditions that can contribute to floaters. Bleeding, pigment, accumulation of Calcium salts (asteroid hyalosis), accumulation of cholesterol, inflammatory conditions, vitreous detachment, tumors,....

Have seen two people get surgery for floaters. Both were ready to jump off the bridge as they (the floaters) just drove them NUTS!

Unless you are in that group, no one is going to do the surgery. Since EVERYONE has floaters, sort of makes it....'normal'.

Yes, they can be irritating, block vision, ...but usually you can sort of slosh them over so you can see what you're trying to see.

Of the two, one developed a retinal detachment from the surgery, the other did just fine.
