It's insane. Even if they see a video of severe floaters their opinion won't change very much because you really have to feel it for yourself to see the pain.
Of the 7 or 8 doctors I've seen over the last 9 years, I can think of only one who actually might refuse to look at the video.  That is just ridiculous.  You shouldn't be seeing that doctor in general just for that reason.  You have something that will show him something very close to what you are experiencing (something the good doctor most likely cannot see) and he will not take 30 seconds to look at it.  Except for that one doctor (Wills Eye in Philadelphia, BTW), I think showing the video would have been somewhat effective.  At the least, after my visit, they might understand a little more what I am going through.  Additionally, they might think twice before stating something like, "everyone has them." Instead they might realize, sure most people get them and I even have them, but nothing close to the extent shown in the video.  Or, instead of saying, "you'll have to get used to them and FOV should not even cross you mind," they'll think how can I tell them to get used to them when I do not think I'd ever  be able to get used to something like that.

We are dealing with something that cannot be seen in many cases, or experienced by another person (obviously).  For decades, this has been the problem, especially because many people have mild forms of floaters and can and should get used to them.  Hopefully, we can exploit the new videos out there to slowly change peoples' minds.
