    In other words let’s learn to live with it. I tried everything soup to nuts. The only time they disappear is when I go to sleep. And they graciously once again greet me in the morning

    @dr.ranibanik Dear Dr. Banik, thanks for the informational videos. As an optician/optometrist I do enjoy your content a LOT :) My own brother had MANY dark floaters in one of his eyes (at age 60), which we found out during a retinal screening session at my newly opened optician store. His condition required vitrecromy in the end, as it was just too many floaters to remove otherwise. I am glad the procedure ended up well, even tho I had my worries of course. I am wondering, are there some recommendations "post vitrectomy", that would somehow "help" the eye in the long run? I understand that you can make a perfect assement long distance, yet I am more curious about something in terms of "general recommendations"? :) Thanks a lot if you ever reply to this comment :) Greetings from the Czech Republic, Jan

    I have floaters, maybe two, in my right eye ever since I remember. Is it dangerous or is it okay? Also, whenever I wear contact lenses my eyes get quite dry after 3-4 hours so much so that when I take out the lenses they get stuck together. To prevent that I put lens solution in my eyes whenever my eyes start to get dry while wearing the lenses. I wear my lenses rarely, I use glasses in daily life. But is there a solution to this dryness problem and is it okay to put the lens solution in the eyes?

    As per 99.9% of these "How To Get Rid Of Eye Floaters" videos. The medical profession always like to pretend they know. Just spreading false hope.
