Also, start taking eye vitamins. Everyone gets old eyes and these really help according to eye docs. Lutein.

Avoiding the doctor doesn't prevent the diagnosis, just delays it. Go to the appointment.

Floaters are from age and you only see them until your brain adapts. I had an eye biopsy during COVID, but it was benign. Just get regular checkups. Like all screening, that's your best bet.
