What Causes Floaters In The Field Of Vision?

default
Posted on Fri, 25 Nov 2016
Question: Mid-2013, I noticed when I'd lie face down on my bed, I'd see a pinpoint floater with my right eye.

Began to notice I'd have to wear glasses, remove them, and put them back on to play computer internet spades.

2015, I could not read close up without glasses. In 2016 when I was told I needed a cat scan (another issue), I suddenly noticed the ability of my left eye vision "go bad". I can pinpoint exactly when!

Today, my far vision in my left eye is starting to slow-ly fuck up. Cannot read for SHIT without my glasses, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FIRST WAKE UP! As the day progresses into night, my vision can see better, but... After sitting in front of computer, when I take my glasses off, I have trouble reading far off, not just close up. Bright day sunlight exacerbates my vision, and so do bright car headlights.

I had 20 / 20 left eye and 20 / 10 right eye all my life.

What the hell is happening? I will kill myself if I lose my vision, and wearing glasses and looking OLD is BULLSHIT! Doctor tells me LASIK would be USELESS. HELP! Are stem cells therapy able to give me back my old eyesight?

Brief Answer:
multiple eye problem and none is related to each other. more of anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
It appears that you are having lot of anxiety and for nothing you are worried about your vision. Floaters are degenerative body floating in veitrious. So with change of your body posture it can come to your visual field and lie in your visual axis . Complete examination of both the eye is required to asses refractive status of your eyes. It is apparent that your vision in day light is bad and improves in the night. Some thing to do with rods and cone in retina may be degenerative effect. Problem after sitting before computer may be something like computer vision syndrome or dry eye which is affecting your vision. You have to apply refresh eye tear drop to tackle this problem. Recording of your vision shows you have got anisometropia which may affect your binacularity. In this case bad vision sight will be suppressed.Your CT scan finding are related to CNS finding affecting brain, but better diagnosis is posible by MRI. Your imagination of loosing vision is psychological and it is illusion giving negative thought to you.A retinal surgeon may be consulted for examination and advice on your related problem. Cataract should be ruled out since with time it can affect your vision regarding lasik. In your case it is not required since it deals with corneal curvature an refractive error and no indication of such surgery is required. So be happy and don't worry. Chemotherapy is still in research stage and application is on trial stage.You have gone for information from net and thinking of application in your case.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash (2 hours later)
Brief Answer:
jocularity can not be treated which is associated with anisometropia.

Detailed Answer:
it can not be treated but each-eye correction can be given but if one eye is having amblyopia then it can not be corrected.what can not be cured is loss of jocularity. it is a simulation of both eye vison and fused to develop jocularity. it is important to appreciate the three dimension of object. problem in driving is difficulty to see depth of a hole in road.
