- For several years I have had "floaters" in my eyes, especially the right
- one. I have been to several eye physicians who have confirmed that nothing
- is seriously wrong with the eyes (no retinal tears etc.). Their only advice
- is "to just ignore them."
-
- Unfortunately, I find that extremely difficult to do and the floaters are
- quite distracting and annoying, often causing me headaches.
-
- Has anyone any experience with floaters? Is there anything that can be
- done? Will they ever disappear?
-
- I would appreciate *any* information on this subject. Please e-mail me at:
- epstein@asd.sgi.com
-
- or post to this newsgroup.
-
- Thanks very much.
