after 8 visits, no doctor ever figured out i had a PVD. I'm not really sure what's PVD? is it a sudden increase in no. of floaters thus resulting to retinal detachment?by the way, i'm 28 so the PVD is unlikely.
i'm lucky i didn't get retinal detachment but i see flashes only in rare ocassions. i did see flashes before while i was reviewing. it continued for 2-3 days. even when in dark places l i can see it. good thing, it stopped becasue i rested my eyes.
i have dozen of floaters in the right eye but in the left there's only two, which i can ignore anyway.
regarding the general check-up, i'm gonna try it coz i have a diabetic mother (she has flaoters too) and we're of the same blood type A. i don't know if i have a diabetic tendency.
i don't even have a brain injury except that i fell from a motorcycle landing on head and back when i was 18-19 but i didn't feel any injury thereafter.
i might have my liver checked. i used to take paracetamols on a daily basis before because i always have allergic rhinitis attacks. i read in a newspaper too much intake of paracetamols might damage the liver. but i don't feel any pain on my liver.
maybe, i'm just imagining some other illness. what caused have casued them? last time i didn't have floaters I was reviewing for a final exam for two weeks using a bright study lamp. i barely rested my eyes at that time. then whoola, 2 weeks thereafter i saw the floaters when i was looking up at the sky from a window . i just ignored it til it reach 1 yr it still didn't go away.
$1,600 is big shot. what i've heard is laser vireolysis is not an effective remedy for ur floaters. it will make your big floaters broken into small pieces which is more annoying.
it's not performed here in Philippines but i tried to look for any doctor practicing it but there's none.
i know your playing safe but if you believe, it's worht a try, i'm with you. today i'm going to carmelite sisters to write a thank you letter and to pray for my cure, your cure and for others suffering from this strange illness.
i made a promise to god if I get over this biggest trial of my life, i'll volunteer for an organization for the blind or any sight-threatening sickness.
