Eye Procedure

Rene asked:


i think i have something called floaters, its an eye problem where i see a very small black dot everywhere. Iv’e been reading about it and im planning on going to see my optometrist, but while im sitting here on yahoo answers i’d like to know if anyone has this condition or knows anything about it; like treatment or prognosis. thanx!
i never knew it was that common lol, no it doesnt hurt at all and i only notice when i focus on it…i just wanted some more info thats all. has anyone ever seen an optometrist for it? thanx for your responses
frenchtraveler thanx for your great answer. im almost positive they’re floaters though because like you said as well…this dot follows gravity most of the time and it does “float”.

One of my freind has had lasik about 8 years back when she was about -6, and the surgery reduced it to near zero.Now she is back to -3.She has an eye test and she wanted to know if the person conducting the eye test can find out if she has eye surgery if she didnt disclose him/her?

Recently, my optometrist found a tear on my retina and advised me to have eye surgery. She mentioned something about lattice?? Anyways, she said that the surgery will repair the tear and eliminate floaters. Before surgery, I rarely saw floaters; now, I constantly see 3! Is this normal?

Within the past 6 months my vision has gone from 20/20 in boths eyes to 20/70 in the right eye and 20/110 in the left eye. I visited the optometrist and they told me i should get glasses. I was wondering if I can avoid surgery and corrective lenses by eating certain foods or doing certain eye exercises. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
