Eye problem
I have one considerable sized vitreous eye floater in right eye. No any retinal pathology as examined by opthalmologist. My Vision is normal in each eye & age 25. I somewhat learn to ignore them. My question is
With time this vitreous floater would fade really in density or in size over time?

Hello
Start ignoring it
Over time, your brain will learn to avoid it.
So, it will decrease in size and density

Floaters are shadows cast by strands & cells within the vitreous jelly. They maybe troublesome initially but with time as you learn to ignore them, they fade away. At times they may signal a more ominous problem like bleeding or inflammation.
Next Steps
If you also have flashes then avoid strenuous exercises
Health Tips
If they increase in size or numbers you must get a Retina examination done
