Eye Floaters & Treatment
Social November 1st, 2008What are Eye floaters?
-Cellular Debris which were detached from retina to vitreous gel.
Are they harmful?
-No they are not, in some cases, floater numbers are increased in a short time, and this may be a sign of a retinal problem. (Tears and etc…)
Are there any pills/medicine/eye drops to cure/diminish the floaters?
-No, there isn’t any medicine yet
What are the causes?
-There are many causes for eye floaters,
- Diseases
- Stress
- Bright Lights (for ex: laser pointers, any light that damages retina)
- Hard Activities (Weight lifting etc…)
- Cigarette
- Laser Surgery
Do they diminish over time?
-There is no answer for this, because sometimes they disappear, sometimes not.
Are there any treatments for eye floaters?
-Yes, vitrectomy is the answer. But doctors do not prefer vitrectomy except the cases that patient has lots of them. They tell you to ignore and how to live with them. Also vitrectomy has many complications and risks. In most cases a cataract operation needed after vitrectomy surgery. Also there is a laser treatment for floaters, but they just divide the floaters into very small pieces, they don’t diminish totally, many people had complained about that those small pieces are worse and more irritating than the big ones.
At Which ages eye floaters begin to appear?
-In generally, eye floaters are part of aging, but there are many people have them from very early ages. (Childhood/teenage)
I am 24 years old, and have lots of eye floaters. I’m trying to live with them and sometimes it is so difficult to ignore them.
