Hojo Motor You know how some people have showers and flashes in their eye floaters. how would a doctor treat that?
Because I have had some for as long as I can remember and they increased alot before the end of last summer. But last summer I had had alot of deppresion
Chosen Answer:
well the treatment depends on the cause of the floater(s), sometimes all that you need is a proper diet and supplements, but other times only way to fix it is with surgery (generally laser surgery) to reattach the cornea (for example)
so only way to know the right treatment is going to the doctor and letting him decide what is the right treatment

It’s not really treatable. I have some and they said there is nothing they can do.
In my case, I have macular degeneration (MD).
This special doctor Sticks a needle in the lower part
of my eye, in the hopes of stopping or slow down
the MD. Yes I have floaters also. Check with an eye
specalist, if you don’t, it may get worse.
Hope you will be OK

Some eye floaters are the remnants of the artery that formed the cornea while the person was a fetus in utero. These are normal.
Sudden onset of eye floaters are one of the symptoms of retinal detachment.
Parasites in the eye resemble floaters.
If the number of floaters has increased dramatically in recent days, see an ophthamalogist immediately.
Floaters are not dangerous. There are some eye conditions that cause floaters that are potentially dangerous for vision, but the floaters themselves are harmless, even though they can be annoying when they interfere with vision. Most people have some floaters, and they are usually caused by harmless conditions that require no treatment.
Flashes are different. They usually indicate abnormal stimulation of the retina, or a tear in the retina, or other problems that can seriously endanger vision. If a person sees flashing lights in his field of vision, he needs to see an ophthalmologist and/or a neurologist.
A sudden increase in floaters, or really big floaters, also merits investigation.
What “techwing” stated is absolutely correct. They are typically harmless but a rise in floaters in cause for concern. Always get an eye checkup to make sure they are not serious.
