Floaters on both eye

2018-04-26 09:03:18
I have floaters in both eye. I went to doc 3month back and after examining my fundus doc said it's ok. And advise me to use a soft drop and NEVANEC eye drop along with retinox caps once daily. But now I found more floaters than before. Previously it was 5-6floaters bt now I found more than 20 floaters. What will i do now? Will i continue the above medicine? Will i go blind if this increase continues... How the increase can be stopped? Please advise. I am very Nervous.

Floaters are usually nonpathological and you will have to learn to omit them. As your fundus is ok then you need not to worry.

You will need a repeat retinal examination if the floaters have increased. Kindly get it done ASAP.
