[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not an eye expert, but it sounds like what happened to me. In my case, I suddenly noticed a large floater on the edge of my vision that moved as I moved my eye. The opthalmologist explained that it’s a normal part of aging (I was 49). Apparently the gel-like filling inside the eye constricts and pulls away from the edges, sometimes creating these floaters. It needs to be checked to make sure the process happens as it should so vision isn’t affected, but will ptobably not be a problem.

The opthalmologist said floaters were a bigger concern if you had a storm of them flashing across the eye, but even then you just needed to make an appointment ASAP and they could probably take care of things.

Again, this is my fuzzy memory of what a professional explained about my specific case, which may be off in the details or completely different from what you’re experiencing.  I do suggest you see an expert. [/quote]

Thank you. Did your floater resolve or did you just get used to it?[/quote]
