Floaters in eyes

2022-11-13 17:09:11
I went for an eye examination two week for eye glasses. The pressure is normal the optometrist said my eyes are healthy. Now I have a week seeing black floaters in my eyes not severe but really disturbing. What can be the problem.?

Floaters can be normal without other symptoms of flashes of light but to be really sure, you can consult with a nearby ophthalmologist
