Floaters while looking at sky
Hello doctors
I see some black thread like floaters in day light while looking at sun or sky.
Is this normal or should I consult a doctor.
I got my eyes checked from 3 different doctors in March and all of them say that there is nothing wrong.
I have some pain in and around my left eye.
But eye doctors say everything is fine.
Kindly guide.
I'm using refresh tears 4 times a day.
Thanks in advance
Hello ,
There is a jelly like substance in the eye called Vitrious and as age progresses it starts to liquify and you start seeing floaters or it also happens in high myopes.
Next Steps
You should go to an Ophthalmologist immediately in case if there is increase in number of these floaters, or decreased vision.
Or if you are seeing flashes of light .
Because these are the signs of RETINAL DETACHMENT .
Get retina checked.
Hope this helps , feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Take care
