Hi, I've been watching the floater talk board for a long time.
I am in my mid 50's , in 1999 I suffered from flashes in both eyes, every time I turned my head, I would see a flash , that went on for about 7 months in my left eye and 8 months in right, but it went away.
In June of 2002 I had a Vitreous collase in my right eye, I went to my local eye doctor and he told me to "give it time" there was no retina detachment, it did'nt get much better.After 3 years of bad what looked like viterous veils in my right eye that bothered me a lot,I moved my head to clear them and still not good, I went to Dr. Geller for laser treatment in 2005, but after 3 treatments it did'nt help.
I live in Southwest Florida and being in the health field, heard that Dr. Eaton in Ft. Myers was a good Retina Doctor.
I am in good heath , so I went to see him. He said he could help me if it was bothering me a lot and that it effected my life. We also talked about the small risk of rental detactments and he told me I would get a cataract.
In October of 2007 I had FOV with Dr. Eaton, all went well, the floaters were gone, I had high eye presser , that was taken down by drops, but was happy , no complacations. Dr. Eaton was right, I had a bad cateract with in 6 months, I was warned, so in May 2008 I had cateract surgery by my reguar ophthalmologist in my eye, again sucessful. Today all is good, my eye is clear 20 20 and no floaters. My left eye has a few floaters but they don't bother me . that is my story.
