Eye floaters

2023-08-11 02:24:41
I have a few eye floaters in my eyes for a long time now. I have had them since childhood. I had been to an eye doctor for consultation and he said that its all normal. He checked my eye through a slit lamp without any dilation. Should i be worried?

Don't need to worry if it is not associated with flashes of light or diminution of vision. But You can get dilated eye examination done whenever possible

Try to get a dilated fundus evaluation whenever free. But floaters are nothing to worry about.
