Eye problem
I have floaters on both eye. I went to retina specialists and he said my retina is ok. But now everyday when I goes out for work I have a curiosity to find is there are more lines or not and I used to count the lines by looking into the sky. Sometimes I found new lines in my vision. But later I feel pain in the head ,neck and also eye ball. Later eye ball pain goes not but head pain remains for hour. But I relax by listening music or reading something the head pain goes out. Please advise me is this pain a sign of tumor as one of my colleague said. I am very nervous by hearing this. Please advise.
I am very nervous.

Floaters are usually nonpathological and you will have to learn to omit them since you have already consulted the retina specialist and your retina is ok then you need not to worry
For headache. It might be tension headache in process of finding these floaters. So just learn to omit them
Or if you are a regular computer user if so it might be computer vision syndrome please use lubricant eye drops e.g. teardrop 2to3 times daily and rub ocupol d's eye oint twice daily on lids

Seeing floaters is a normal phenomenon. Better you consult ophthalmologist again to rule out Dry eyes. For headache,you should consult physician. Even if you are anxious, consult a good psychiatrist.

In case of doubt, you may consult one more retina doctor for your issues. Floaters are a natural phenomenon in some patients. And doesn't always indicate some disease. The expert will be able to put your fears to rest.
