Why Am I Having Difficulty In Focusing Distant Objects While Driving?

I have been having difficulty focusing on distant objects when driving for several years - like eyes trying to dart or drift. Does this sound like a possiblity of eye floaters? I know i have them, but can they make your eyes follow the floaters rather than the road??

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having problems in focussing of objects particularly while driving.
This problem is because of age related sclerosis of lens and this not related to floaters as you are thinking.
Floaters appear as black spots and they won't cause focussing difficulties.

Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
