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?

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

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
