Thank you for that link. I have a huge amount of floaters that happened after a coughing/choking session had a several years ago. I was suffering with severe bronchitis and could not stop coughing. I went to my eye doc immediately and he diagnosed me as having floaters. They do affect my vision in my right eye and I don’t think they will ever go away. I have never had flashers and my retina is OK.
I couldn't figure how this related until I read further. Floaters have a different meaning to some I guess. ;)
I was referred to that link by our optometrist and FP when I had floaters. My FP and his wife both had floaters a couple of months before I did.
Scary stuff until you find out that they are harmless.
At first you need your eyes checked out to make sure your retina is okay like yours and mine.
