Floaters coloured lines or forms
I have been starting to see floaters around ten years ago I wear glasses to see from afar. Around 4-5 months ago I started to see more floaters and when I went to see my optometrist I told her about it. She told me it was no big deal as long as I don’t see flashes but I didn’t asked what the flashes were. Sometimes I think I see them but sometime it’s just the light reflection in my glasses.She put drops in my eyes looked in my eyes, took pictures retinal scan etc . I’m seeing coloured lines
