Eye Floaters

2021-07-18 15:04:34
I went for a dilated eye test after having seen floaters for the first time, the doctor examined and said there is no cause to worry but said to follow up on Saturday for confirmation. I want to ask that can I just continue with my normal life, as from my research these floaters are indeed common and in most cases not a cause of concern.
