Eye floaters
So I have floaters for the past 2 to 3 years. It happened suddenly, one fine day I saw something moving around my eyes out of nowhere and I realised it was floaters. After that I consulted eye doctor, though he didn't say much about it. I want to know why and how these happen, what is the cure and what has to be done? Is it very harmful? Will it affect vision? And also I was spectacles. Nowadays doctors do prescribed eye drops for dry eyes. Earlier I used to have Loc tears and now refresh tears.
