Eye Floaters in Eye.
About 12 months ago, I wen through root canal (in teeth) treatment. Now my that tooth is okay, but after that I'm seeing some eye floaters, and almost 12 months gone, but eye floater is not gone away. Even two marks are increased. First I was seeing two dots but now I'm seeing some lines too.
