@markymark215 I think you’ve been given good advice. From my experience traditional floaters eventually settle down and the eye and brain accommodates. They may sporadically reappear and dash about in your field of vision with your greater awareness, but the trend over months’ time is toward them bothering less. And they look different than what I experienced as the deteriorating vitreous, which became only worse over time, an ever moving phenomenon that obscured my vision. If it were me, 6-12 months would tell the tale. One clue is if you are exhausted by constantly trying to clear your vision. Another is if you have scary moments with vision when driving, then it’s time to do something. Knowing that a Vitrectomy can fix this if need be can allow you to relax about seeing a bunch of floaters and give your brain some time for accommodation if they’re just garden variety floaters.

Thanks for the reply!

I have a feeling that I will probably have the surgery at some point! I just don’t want to rush into anything!

I must say it is very exhausting trying to get through my day with them. I only have 3-4 just they are huge spanning my entire vision. Meeting with another retina specialist tomorrow!

Also, I’m only 29 years old.
