I hope that you are seeing an eye specialist with your problem, I say this only because I had the same problem years ago and I was seeing an optometrist for it, she also said I had vitreous issues due to age and it would settle down eventually. Unfortunately it didn’t stop and I was told by the same person that I’m fine and not to worry about it, I just wanted another opinion and I went to my doctor who sensed that it was retina related and referred me immediately to a ophthalmologist who couldn’t find anything but he wasn’t confident that I was fine so he got me in with a retina specialist the next morning and he said that I was so close to losing my vision, it turned out to be retinal detachment and I had laser surgery right away, the same thing happened with the other eye two years later only this time I bypassed the optometrist. I hope that your problem is minor and easily resolved, I just wanted to let you know so you have more information and if needed you have some insight with this situation.

The Dr. I saw was in a large practice that did my regular eye prescription 2 yrs ago. It was the best lenses I have ever had. He is a O.D. and specialties are Dry Eye Disease /Routine Eye Exams.
When I went in, he did dilate my eyes and said that my retina was ok and explained the Virtuous was thinning. The first drops did seem to help.
I will send my chart message to my primary Dr. and ask her if she recommends a Retina Specialist just to check. (I did let her know when I was on my yearly physical and the drops I was on)
Thanks
