Why ME?? 0o

I have Glaucoma and have had macular degeneration, although it's either gone or in remission. Age does tend to bring vision issues. The important thing is don't delay seeing an eye spcialist because some conditions are not reversible.

Doesn't sound like any fun, I have been having a couple of issues with my eyes as I get older as well. Hope yours will correct itself

I do hope your eye heals quickly and completely.

I do not have this problem, but I have narrow angle Glaucoma. It's not funny and you can lose your sight without even knowing. I never forget to put my eye drops before going to sleep.

I am sorry, I hope you heal up fast!

The joys of aging. An evil beast.

Oh, I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. It seems that there is no real cure. I hope that the floaters are not obstructing your vision too much. Keep us posted.

What did the doc say to do?

I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope the treatment you're getting cures the problem. I had some floaters last year but they disappeared on their own.

Hmmm... I've been seeing floaters for several years... At first, they bugged me. Now I ignore them and they do go away.

Not going to read it - I had a detachment in one eye 3 or so years ago, and the repair took several weeks... Look up retinopexy. Part of the treatment required the use of chemicals that lead to cataracts, requiring replacement of the lens with a false, plastic, one.. That means your near vision is no longer good enough without expensive lenses, and also means you may need periodic lasering to remove the residue that collects on the plastic... I suspect i will need that soon, as the vision in the repaired eye is getting blurry again. Reading up about the treatment gives me the willies (heebie jeebies) when I am under the surgeon's knife (retinopexy is done while you are awake, albeit with local anaesthetic in the eye) - sometimes ignorance is bliss. I hope your problem is repairable without too much delay or post-treatment repair.

It appears I didn't looking far enough back for more about your eye. I've head floaters since about my forties although mine never settled they are still there just not getting bigger. I have a virus detachment but not a retina detachment. This far mine had only detached from the optic nerve. I know a few more symptoms now to watch out for.

Oh, my! I only know that it can form floaters. I hope something can be done for you.

you have retinal detachment? i thought i had that before because my sight seemed to be always covered with a blanket, or floater. later did i know that is the aura prior to a migraine attack.

I hope things will be fine soon.

I am highly myopic and I have been wearing a pair of glasses.

Well that is not good, I do see an occasional floater but they never stick around very long, I will ask my eye doctor when I do my yearly visit.

Oh no. I've been wondering about you. Hugs.

I'm sorry you are having eye problems. I've notice my eyes aren't adjusting as quickly to changing from looking at things nearby (reading, sewing) to looking into the distance (going for a walk, driving).

They made me have lots of tests five years ago, telling me that I might have glaucoma. I went to other optometrists, and they disagreed with that. I should have a test again soon. Aging is not good at all.
