Floaters

The floaters I have are secondary to cataract surgery and lens implant. Dr. says there is nothing to be done about them. Sometimes I swear there are fleas in front of my computer screen!!

I get floaters (sm)
not sure there's anything to do about them, but probably would be tempted to go see your eye doc about them. They told me if they get worse to have them checked out.
floaters
Could they be oocular migraines?
These floaters are driving me ...
crazy!! Have any of you had these and if so were they able to be treated and how? Seems like today in my right eye they are worse (I know they can go back and forth). I hope someone out there maybe has an answer to this irritating problem. Thanks.
Floaters are a symptom not sm
a condition.  You need to find the source of the floaters.  Once you find the "condition" causing the floaters, then they may resolve once the "condition" is treated.  Also, I had two people tell me that Lasik did not work, and they are back to wearing their glasses.  Have you tried this?  Just trying to help. 
floaters and flashes
I have both in my left eye from having severe uvitis iritis years ago. My ophthalmologist told me I will probably have retnal detachment in the future and said it looks like someone closing a curtain over your eye. Scared me!
Floaters in older age groups
are not uncommon. I have had these over a year but they have been having little babies today it seems like.
diabetic retinopathy also causes floaters and....nm

Are floaters connected to decreased balance?
Anyone heard of this?
Question about floaters, spots in eyes- anyone with this?
Ok, have had these checked out before and know I have floaters (really no treatment for those as far as I know) but when I got back from vacation here lately the floaters changed to very, very tiny little spots in 1 eye, looks like I am seeing gnats when looking at the monitor or say a white background, driving me crazzzzy. Am using some eyedrops for dryness but wondering if anyone else had similar. Thanks!
