2019-03-30 13:23:28
I am -2.5 myopic. Just 26 Years old and a software professional. I developed floater a month back. The doctor said I might be having ongoing PVD in both eyes. I see both transparent and black floaters. I am very scared. I don't see flashing. But I am super scares. Is my life over??? Will I have eye troubles through out my life. I also am taking antiox tablets and eye drops. But so damn scared. I have to stare at a laptop for 8 hours as my job. What should I do. Can't even change profession now. Helpless and depressed.
