Hello and thanks for writing.
I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Do not be scared, I donot agree that there is no hope for you. The condition that you are having is called
floaters, that are found in several conditions including:
1.
Eye injury or trauma
2. Diabetic Retinopathy
3. Retinal detachment
4. Cataracts
5. Retinal Tear
6. Hemorrhage in back of the eye called vitreous hemorrhage
7. Infections in back compartment of eye
Some of the conditions may be serious. A pointer may be that if you see a shower of floaters and spots, sometimes accompanied by light flashes, you should seek medical attention immediately.
You may need to give a comprehensive history by answering a few more questions pertaining to your condition. You may also require a complete eye examination including fundoscopy and
ophthalmoscopy and may also require few tests including blood tests and imaging studies to get to a final diagnosis.
I suggest that you consult a doctor who may investigate you and make a comprehensive management plan for you which may include eye protective devices, medication, surgery,
laser therapy and others depending upon the condition.
