Eye floaters
Is it possible to get rid of eye-floaters? Got 1 in my right eye since the past 2 weeks, and got my retina checked. It seems fine though.

hello
floaters are due to vitreous (gel in eye) liquifaction
there is no treatment for this
just avoid seeing them
these are entirely normal
consult ophthalmologist if these suddenly increase in number
This is a provisional diagnosis. consult your ophthalmologist for detailed examination
