Orange County Optometrist: Dealing With Eye Floaters

July 12, 2010 - PRLog -- There are people that have experienced seeing some objects or threads across their vision field from time to time. You might be one of these people. These particular visual objects are called floaters. These are basically harmless but it always pays if you consult your optometrist right away if you have this problem. There is a permanent treatment for this specific eye problem. However, you’ll only be able to achieve this through the help of your eye doctor.

Floaters Eye is a very common eye problem. It is essentially associated with aging and has been experienced by senior citizens from ages 70 and above. However, there are younger people who have gone through this condition like those people in their early 40s. Floaters are also rampant to people with diabetes, nearsighted or people with myopia, pregnant women and cataract surgery patients.

Floaters are sometimes caused by broken blood vessels in the eyes sustained from an injury but are generally linked with aging. Tiny bits of solid tissue that collects in the vitreous gel of the eyes results to protein floaters. This gel turns gradually into liquid as you mature and age. During this particular process, “floaters” cast a shadow on the retina as they pass by. The floaters are actually clear but the shadow gives them the appearance of being dark.

Most floaters will vanish after a while but will be recurring after its first occurrence. By that time, you will probably be accustomed to the condition and won’t be bothered by it.

Although floaters can be no harm to your health, it is always safe to have yourself got an eye examination every once in awhile to ensure that it nothing serious.
