Suggest Treatment For Floaters In Vision
Ok so I was just minding my own business when suddenly my right eye had a floating BALL of light. It came from the top then the bottom. It was in my peripheral vision. My eyes are floater filled maybe say out of 100% maybe say 35% filled. I'm only 16 and have noticed my floaters since last May. They don't actually dramatically increase heck I don't even know if mine increased. My ophtha appointment will be next week so yeah.
Help me! I wa sick to my stomach when I saw that ball of light because its my first time encountering that.
I am so terrified right now! I don't want a retinal detachment/tear :'(

you are having floaters. looking at your age it appears you are having pathological myopia. floaters are degenerative body in vetrious. fundus examination is to be done.complete retina is to be examined, retinal tear hole or detachement to be excluded. if present then cosult retinal surgeon for suitable treatment.
