weba, unfortunately I am not always surprised by this. I notice these kind of feelings elsewhere in life, not only with medical doctors. But that doesn't make them more right to do so.
Unfortunately, people too won't accept a "there is nothing that can be done" (translate to: we do not know of any solution). That is basicelly what most of ophtalmologist seem to say, because that is the communauty concensus as of now. They are teach that. They seems to agree on that from what I heard.
What is sad thought is when they don't want to listen to you or take you seriously. Either it is pragmatic (they heard it 300 times, but have really other things to do... keep in mind that some doctors often see a new person each 15-30 minutes), but still, sometime they have to open their ears, they might even save times. Well there is the time factor... they have limited time and try to act with it probably.
Another thing that is sad is when you have the feeling that they think only them can know something about their profession. Not all doctors are like this, but there is that [at least] seems to act this way. It is not because I am not a medical doctors that I cannot learn and understand. Actually they should listen to what the patient is saying, because the patient know what he feels.
We have to keep in mind that in most case, they are not the one who caused our problems (unless, like I once said, that it is a medical errors that caused your problem, e.g. you got prescribed something and that caused your floaters, but they sure don't know). But people believe they are god and will fix anything.
I doubt they won't be happy to prescribe you a solution to fix your floaters in no time if they did know the solution (and without a risk).
They probably know about vitrectomy, but won't suggest it to you first of course!
Also a lot of people have floaters, maybe most people can live with it, or most people's floaters are not "that annoying". So that is maybe the first solution they want to try, "please try to learn with it", because it is harmless (you are not gonna die). But they should listen when someone say that floaters (or another problem) have killed their quality of life.
Just imagine the day a safe solution will be found... imagine that be very near...
