I did go to an ophthalmologist this week and he feels that it is a huge floater. He said that nothing can really be done to improve it. I have several other small ones but this thing covers 1/2 of my vision field. Just part of growing old

Actually there is treatment for floaters but many/ most regular ophthalmologists don’t recommend it and prefer you just hope the brain adjusts and ignores them. If the floater is that large however and in your central vision where you cannot ignore it, you may want to visit a vitreoretinal specialist. There actually is a discussion somewhere on this site about that procedure which is called a visual opacity vitrectomy or floater only vitrectomy.
