Thank you for this. I understand the decrease in quality of life because of multiple floaters. Please do more videos like this when you hear of new treatment for floaters. Thank you for caring about this subject. 🥰

very good presentation and explanations :-)

I’m 53 years old. Floaters have ruined my life for the past 20 plus years. I the past 5 years it has been so bad that I avoid reading, computer work , driving and simply spending time outside. Half of the time I see 20/20 but the other half of the time is 20/40 when a cluster of floaters crosses my vision. I had RK and cataract surgery in both eyes and a shunt in the right eye. I still take glaucoma drops in the left eye. Just had a floater only vitrectomy in the left eye 6 weeks ago. After that the pressure was out of control for 2 weeks. I had to take diamox and had my cornea tapped twice. Now the pressure is normal but my astigmatism changed probably due to taping the cornea. Just whent to see my optometrist and she was able to get me to see 20/20 - 2. But I noticed the vision was distorted a bit. Not sure why. Waiting to get my new lens. But I can already drive a lot easier. Floaters in my right eye are still bothersome but I’m hoping that my brain can eventually adapt. If the distorted vision in my left eye clears up, I would consider getting the right eye done in the future.

Great video Doc.,thank you for your nice and clear explanation.I also have a lot floaters in my right eye.

For those of us that have floaters due to myopia at a "young" age, YAG doesn't work. I've had the YAG surgery and it didn't get rid of my problem floaters due to floaters being close to the retina. It actually made my floaters worse. Also, the 20/20 vision is only accurate when my eyes aren't moving. Not out in the real world when your eyes are constantly in motion, like while driving, or working, or reading anything. My floaters blur out words and small details as well as making it harder for my eyes to focus on anything more than 10 feet away. Half the time I miss spots on my white car while trying to wash it outside. Floaters have changed everything about me. I can't tell you the last time I was genuinely happy about anything... It's a disease of the eyes and mind with zero relief 24/7 365.

Thank you for this video . My own view as someone who has recently suffered a PVD and now left with large floaters is that Optometrists and eye doctors need to view floaters in the same way as any sort of damage to the eye. It affects vision so why would they think it could be ignored. 20/20 visiion means nothing to those with multiple floaters.

Great video regarding floaters, it's not actually normal for someone who's a professional dissecting this issue.

When you have a surgical vitrectomy and the surgeon removes the vitreous gel from the center of the eye, do you inject a replacement to keep the eye from collapsing onto itself or does the body produce its own to replace what was removed? I just developed some floaters last week and they are annoying! I constantly feel like I have a lash stuck under a contact lens because that is what I see even though it doesn’t hurt that much. They do also make reading difficult because often as I focus the floater will block the word on the page or screen. Small type and music charts are particularly bothersome. I have committed to giving it some time to see if I can deal with them but I am guessing that at some point I would like to see if YAG laser will address the problem and save me from retiring before I would like to.

Yes I would take the Risk .

How are your floaters now

I have been going to a retina specialist for the past two months, I began perceiving floaters and became annoyed and I went in to the retina specialist as it was so bothersome. Come to find out I have lattice degeneration and about a dozen holes in my peripheral retina on both eyes. He recommended we laser around the holes to basically weld down the retina to prevent detachment. I have gone for three laser treatments so far and have about 3 to go , just had one done this past Monday actually . The day of and day after there is some aching sensation and then some days later it begins itching. I am only 30 years old and my floaters have had me debating getting a vitrectomy just for floaters. My floaters are a combination of vitreous syneresis and fibers from the many holes in my retina, luckily my macula is fine and I don’t have any vision changes aside from bothersome floaters.

Same here. Has it going on three months now. Hard to put ony eye makeup. I pray it doesn't happen in other eye. Have been feeling depressed over it.

I had about 25 YAG treatments in both of my eyes my floaters improved just a little bit, the only cure for floaters is surgery. The best way is to have a 27g surgery with combined cataract surgery and remove all anterior and posterior vitreous. just doing a core vitrectomy risks retinal detachment later or floater reoccurrance

@@malena7362 I'm doing a bit better nowadays. It is less annoying in the summer I've found, because when there's snow on the ground the floater becomes much more apparent. Other than that I think I've gotten used to it a bit more and the floater seems to float around more quickly than it used to which I find to be less annoying.

Really. I find this interesting, the part about your nervous system, because I am taking an herbal supplement and have been for years now, that is said to stimulate the NS. My floaters are prominent and have increased over the past year or so. Do you suffer from dry eyes? I do. My floaters have also turned dark grey in some areas. Super annoying and h as rd to ignore at times. I also work in my car for a living, wear glasses from the moment I get into the car, til the sun doesnt shine. My eyes are sensitive to light. Are yours?

High blood pressure can cause blindness just as diabetes can too. And blindness can start GRADUALLY with floaters. SO, get your blood pressure down to like 115/70 or so, certainly no higher than 130/80, and avoid systolics less than 90 too.

Floaters are very annoying to me , mainly more so because I also get alot of migraines and anything that messes with my vision freaks me out and I end up nauseated

I had ICL surgery years ago. Before I had the ICL surgery, they did YAG laser on me. It feels like someone is snapping a rubber band on your eyeball! And there's no anesthetic with YAG laser surgery. They hold your head in a death grip against the laser machine, so you do not move because it hurts! The machine is just like the machine they use when looking into your eyes, I had to go back later for cateract surgery because the idiot.. I mean doctor, placed the lens too high. I was told they were no longer using YAG laser before ICL surgery. Your so lucky if your have to really look for them! I have dementors in my eyes, and yes, I'm going to see my ophthalmologist soon! LOL I was an optician back in the day during college and our younger daughter was an optician before becoming a teacher and deaf interpreter. So we both cringe at some if this stuff.

I have been complaining about floaters for years. However, I have to be honest and point out that the results of the survey you referenced almost certainly has more to do with the fact that average people are tremendously and famously terrible at interpreting statistical risks. When an average results in something as ghastly as people being willing to accept an 11% risk of death for what is not a life-saving surgery, that is a red flag that overconfidence bias dominates the results.

Why do you think you have to look for your floaters but some people see them all of the time?

floaters are very annoying it drives me crazy... i had a tear fixed, i hope they go away if not they gonna haft to go in and replace the fluid
