Is there a cure for eye floaters

2018-09-12 04:14:39
I am suffering from eye floaters problems from past 6 months. I am 43 year old male. Even my father suffered from it. Will I get a cure for this problem? I read somewhere that eye floaters is only controllable disease and not curable. Is it true? Will operation help to cure the problem?

Floaters are usually nonpathological and you will have to learn to omit them but please get your fundus examination done by an ophthalmologist first to rule out the possibility of retinal problem.
