Just an update for everyone —

Visited a highly regarded retina specialist for my floater issue and even thought they are effecting my life in a highly negative way (anxiety/depression) I was advised to “learn to live” with the floaters and he doesn’t recommend surgery at my age because of the risks involved. Appreciate his honesty, but feeling really down about the outcome. Hopefully my brain will adapt with time 🙁

Agreed, 2nd opinion. Removing my floaters gave me a new lease on life. I was irritated everyday b/c I couldn't see well and its frustrating. Please see another specialist that works with replacing the fluid in your eyes. Relatively easy recovery and I am seeing very well.
