eyes

i've been going to the eye clinic at the royal adelaide hospital for a few months now.  the optometrist sent me there because i had a 'floater' and flashing.  they originally thought it was a detached retina but i thought they ruled that out.  the doctor today said it is still an issue, but, the good news, they are not concerned about macular degeneration.  i'm pleased about that.  the 'floater' is not as pronounced as it was, or i may be getting used to it.  and i only have the flashing occasionally.  i hate the eye clinic as it's invasive but i must say i'm grateful that they are there.  in fact today i'm feeling grateful

    Glad its not serious. I have a floater but you get used to it and don't notice it after a while. Only sometimes.

      hi Diane, yes, floaters are quite common and you can get used to them. i'm still waiting to get my cataracts done. :(

    Well that's good news.
    I too have several floaters and flashing lights in my eyes. I go to the Specialist each year.

      hi Margaret, that's good that you see the specialist regularly. i think my floater is getting smaller but i'm probably getting used to it. :)
