Had perfect vision till age 50. Now i'm few years older and have bi-focals for presbyopia. Recently noticed floaters and from online research it seems like no big deal.
How do you deal with floaters and has it affected anyones medical? |

problem unless you yourself determine that they interfere with your vision. I've had them for years, and they seemed to worsen as I aged. I just ignore them. Incidentally, I've never had an AME even ask if I had them. |

Not that bad, just an odd one now and then. I was wondering if eye drops would clean them out but haven't tried that yet. Thanks for the response and reassurance. |

The system has thought us to say nothing in case we lose our income, but how many people have lost more than income by waiting too long? |
