hello in eye we have 2 segments: anterior and posterior.... in posterior segment we have a gel called vitreous this vitreous is made of collagen fibres. In some people, these collagen fibres gets meshed up and they start floating in vitreous gel when light enters the eye, these meshed collagen fibres cast a shadow on retina which is seen as floaters by patient. there is no treatment for this just avoid seeing them these are entirely normal consult ophthalmologist if these suddenly increase in number This is a provisional diagnosis. consult your ophthalmologist for detailed examination

Flashes and floaters require regular retina checkup to rule out serious causes like retinal detachment, h'ge. Its good that everything is normal. If you want to ask whether these floaters will disappear... NO.. you will get used to them and after sometime you will not be bothered by them. Surgery for their removal is not recommended

Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  You have have to ignore the floaters and gradually you will get used to these. The floaters will not disappear. Just keep your sugars in check and also go dor regular eye check ups . Consult a ophthalmologist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
