Suggest Remedy For Floaters In The Eye

I have a permanent after-image type spot in my left eye - it occurred with a bad headache around 8 months ago. (I've never looked into a migraine diagnosis) - I saw an ophthalmologist who examined my eye, determined there was nothing wrong with it, and that the spot was mostly likely 'migraine related' and would go away. It's still there, months later, and I'm concerned. It does not impair my vision, rather just looks like a permanent after-image, after looking at a bright light. Should I worry?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history you are having headache associated with symptoms of after images resembling floaters.
Since your eye examination by ophthalmologist is normal no need to worry as these indicate prodromal symptoms of migraine.
This will be relieved by treatment for migraine. This will not affect your vision and will not lead to any permanent damage.
Hence you need to consult your physician doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis of migraine and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
