Kopites Supersonic June 19, 2018 Share June 19, 2018 (edited) Scary sia, if i have floaters meaning i might have flashes in future?!doctor here can correct me if I am wrong. damaged/weakened tissue behind our retina slowly/gradually peel off over times. it can be due to ageing/medication etc. such peeled tissue float around that why it is call floater. It like strung of hair floating. Why black this I don't know. So if there are excessive floater or flashes one must be very careful. go see a doctor. me a lay men talk. don't flame me.

Dleodleo Twincharged June 19, 2018 Share June 19, 2018 this what the doc told me. aging/ excess useage of antibioic eye drop/medication/eye infection etc..might result in floaters over times. the nec doctor told me. flashes might result in detachment which mean blindness. don't play play. Go see a eye doctor immediately if you experienced flashes. Or you noticed excessive increase in floaters. There are tests to check for detachment. Oh! I didn't know anything about floaters and flashes. Something new to me. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltisOwner Turbocharged June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 I got go eye checkup once a year, hopefully can detect any eye problems. And hopefully eye flashes doesnt suddenly appear within the year before my next eyes checkup. Good morning bro. Good to have your eyes check once a year. The Eye Doctor gave me a book written by him and now I realised that eyes really need to take care especially when we are getting old. Eye floaters is suddenly apprear, they are like flying files or bubble dots moving in your field of vision. Flashes are the illusion of flashing lights or lightning streaks. Floaters are more obvious when you are out in bright sunlight or looking at a white background. Flashes are only a matter of concern if the degenerated vitreous pulls away from the retina and tears it. This causes a little bleeding in the eye, and may appear as a group of new floaters. Severe retinal tearing may develop into retinal detachment, causing vision loss. It is important to see a eye doctor when you see a sudden onset of many new floaters or flashes. Do take care of your eyes. Have a nice day! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdash Supersonic June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 Usually floaters look like strung of hair floating de, although some might see other pattern of floater. Or some other colour of floater. By right èè± should experience from 40 year old de, but some people got it before 40s. But floaters nothing to do with èè±, some people got floater but no èè±. If you have lots of floaters, eye doctor can also check and know de. dont so bad reveal @dleodleo age leh... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
