Floaters and light
My daughter is 21 years old. She has been regularly seeing floaters in her eyes for 1-2 months. We got retina checked from a specialist. Her retina is absolutely fine. But she still has the same problem. Her number is very high. Is this problem connected with the brain?
Should I go for a neurology doctor.
Please give advice

It is mainly due to liquifaction of a gel named vitreous
If her retina is fine, there is no need for a Neurology consult for the floaters, unless you're ophthalmologist has advised so.
