Floaters

[dpdx]

I hope you are right. Just imagine the devastation if one had the surgery, got clear vision and then the floaters came back

It cant, they remove the vitrgous gel and replace it with saline. I am going to do one in 10 years.
I never had eye floaters up until march when my T turned Severe. I have so many its crazy.
They are big and wormy, some black ones in there as well.
Also suffering with Visual Snow.

I have had my floaters for 10 years or more and in that time they have gotten slightly worse. I also have them all over my vision: webs, worms, circles. It sucks

I developed floaters in August. Most are clear to light gray except for a few dots within the big, wormy ones.

Are you nearsighted? My eyes are pretty bad, with -3.75 power on the right and -5.5 on the left. The doctors told me that nearsighted people are more likely to get floaters, even at a young age.

Also developed starbursts recently. It's really annoying when driving at night. I've said this before, but I'm so lucky I don't have visual snow.

I am nearsighted but I am suprised that they came into play as soon as I got T. By that logic everyone who wears glasses should have floaters.
Guess where I have the most floaters? Left eye
and where is my T really bad ...Left Ear.
All the dark ones are in the left eye.

There is an article somewhere that correlates tinnitus with floaters and visual snow. I think it might have to do with more hyperactivity on the left side.

My floaters are not from tinnitus.

So I wonder if I got them removed by surgery, if they would come back because of tinnitus?

 

[Pero1234]

@TheDanishGirl can you let me know how surgery went? Very interested!

I didn't have the surgery. I am saving up to for it as it is very expensive, so it will take about 10 years to save up the money.

 

[Pero1234]

How much is it? :-o

 

[TheDanishGirl]

I can't remember the exact price but I think it was about 5.500 EUR per eye and I need to have it done on both eyes, so 11.000 EUR, or almost $13.000

I think they recommend not having both eyes done at the same time, so maybe in 5 years I would have saved up 50% and can have one eye done.

Physiologically impossible, the vitreous body is replaced by transparent saline gel, your floaters will be gone forever.

I've got a little worse prescription than yours. Had glasses since I was 6. I had floaters super bad when I was young. Then they went away. I didn't get them back until 2017. Now they're so think and bad. *sighs*

Wow, That's super weird! I have never heard of someone who had floaters go away by their own. Didn't think it was medically possible at all.

 

[Don Tinny]

I have floaters but I am habituated. They dont bother me anymore. A lot of T sufferers have floaters, weird thing.

We all have floaters, our shitnitus brains just don't filter them out.

I didn't know it was supposed to not happen. *shrugs* I just keep hoping they will go away again. Though they don't really bother me. Not like tinnitus.

 

[TheDanishGirl]

Probably. Like I said I have had them for 10+ years and I am not habituated to them. I am getting the FOV surgery 100%.

At least something can be done with floaters.

 

[TheDanishGirl]

Just found out it is only 3200 euros per one eye at Stalman's in Belgium, which is the place that was recommended to me.

I am so happy it is much cheaper then I thought (I was earlier told 5500 euros). Now I can have it done in a few years and I won't have to wait 10 years.

But just to make things clear (no pun intended ) Floaters CAN come back after surgery for some unlucky few, so I just have to hope I am not one of those people. Also, a 100% floaters removal is not guaranteed. Sometimes it only removes 70-90% of them.

Has anyone looked onto msm eye drops for floaters. Very interesting, dr. Bernes's talks about dissolving them.

 

[JohnAdams]

there's a bunch of floaters at the ATA

What is that, and where can I buy it??

 

[AVas]

Had floaters for about 7 years now. I remember the first year and a half I was very stressed out and upset. But eventually got tired of focusing on them and moved on. Now I notice them a couple of times a year.

I used to stare at the screen 14 hours a day 6-7 days a week (all work) and had high blood pressure. A few times a day I would see a white bright flicker in either eye, sometimes one going upwards like a firework. That was a sign something got detached there and I would see a new floater the next day. First they are transparent but with time become darker, grey.

Went to a doc and got the usual "eye stress and high blood pressure cannot cause this, you're talking nonsense". So eye problems cannot be caused by eye stress or high pressure that also affects the eyes, am I right or am I right? Well, I've stopped looking at the screen for so long, got in shape and guess what? No more flashes and no more new floaters. Resting the eyes made the biggest difference, exercise was the cherry on the top. I don't believe I've had new ones in the last 3-4 years at least.

Warning - off topic

>>>>>
The same doctor also denied any relationship between high blood pressure and extra weight and lack of physical activity and prescribed tablets. Obvious manipulation to sell the products or plain ignorance. Proved her wrong. Irresponsibly putting people's health at risk...

<<<<<

One lesson from all of this - whatever problem/illness you have - educate yourself the hell out of it and get a second and a third opinion before jumping onto any treatment plan.

I got mine, the 15% solution, at: drsamberne.com, I am new here, is it alright to post other web sites. Also he shows a great lymphatic drainage message for the eyes too.

Hi again, well, I am on my 3rd week, and I can truly see a difference. I can almost see zero floaters, the ones still there are very very light. Before I started this, looking into anything white, like a cloudy day, I could see many many floaters. As I write this, it is a cloudy day here, when I look into the clouds I would say I have a 85 to 90 % decrease in my floaters. You are supposed to do this for 90 days with also the eye messages I do daily too. I sure hope this will help others who have the same problem too.
