    Floaters don't go away. That's an urban medical myth.

    Hello Doctor, just subscribed to your channel. Suffering from multiple floaters in both my eyes, i find this very useful. I have one question: which sunglass lenses would help alleviate this annoying condition as well as help in soothing my eyes all day long?
    I have as yet to find a proper pair of sunglasses as none seem to fulfill all of my requirements.
    Can you help me find the proper sunglass lenses?

    Why some orphalmologist take floaters so Lightly? Is it because they don't have it? I was told the best doctor is a former patient.

    When I stare at a wall or a surface that’s just one solid color, like the floor, and I keep looking at the same spot, I start to see something that looks like an anemone from the coral reefs. It has these little hair-like things that move around like multiple like if you were looking at a coral reef and it had like four or five different anemones . If I look away, they disappear, but when I focus again, they come back. It feels like it’s happening inside my eyes, not something I’m actually seeing on the surface. Does this sound like floaters

    My floaters seem to keep increasing and I find it's beginning to effect my everyday vision, when I'm watching TV or looking at people. I'm afraid to do anything about it but wonder how much worse they can get ?

    But why do some people get retinal tears and so on? Why isn't there any research on preventing it? Clearly, there must be something different about the eyes of the people who get them and people who don't. Especially if it happens to someone with no risk factors besides being slightly over 50 years old.
