Re: [IP] floaters
I began w floaters in my r eye about 5 yrs ago saw my ophthalmologist and
there was nothing notable other than the floaters and a cataract. In April
of 2009, I developed a floater in my l eye didn't think about it until 4
days later waking up and having a "veil" over my l eye went to the
ophthalmologist and he immediately sent me to a retinal specialist who did
laser
surgery on the l eye. Since April, I have had 3 YAG surgeries on my r eye and
3 on my l eye on the 22nd I will be having a cataract removed from my l
eye, a virectomy, and a membrane peel. 47 yrs of wear and tear on the
diabetic eye may cause some problems. YMV.

I saw my eye doctor (ophthalmologist) this morning because of the floaters
that
appeared in both eyes recently. She checked me out thoroughly and said that
there's nothing to worry about, other than being annoyed by them. They
started
first in my left eye and then last week one appeared in my right eye. She
said
she could see one in my left eye but I haven't really noticed that one at
all
recently, probably because the one in my right eye was annoying me more.
The
right one is right in the center and is more noticeable.
She did tell me that I should see a specialist and have another test done -
depressed something-or-other. She gave me the name of a doctor at the eye
hospital so I will call and make an appointment just to be safe.
