How should I manage floaters, for which there is no cure?
I've heard that floaters are largely influenced by genetics or aging.
I've had symptoms since I was young.
To be precise, I think I first felt it when I was a high school senior preparing for the college entrance exam.
I've had this often since I was young, but lately, I keep getting symptoms of floaters.
It looks grainy like heat haze, there are moments when it looks crackling like a mosaic, and there is also a feeling like black ink spreading.
When I went to the ophthalmologist before, they said there is no complete cure for floaters, so I was just living with it...
My eyes were really itchy recently, so I went to the ophthalmologist.
Since you said your floaters seem to have gotten worse lately,
They said it might be a retinal problem and suggested getting it checked.
They say that if the retina is torn, symptoms of floaters appear.
I also had an intraocular pressure test and a pupil dilation test.
Fortunately, they say there are no major issues with the retina.
They say there's nothing you can do about floaters...
However, since I have nearsightedness, I have decided to get regular checkups. I heard that if your nearsightedness is severe, you are more susceptible to retinal diseases.
I was prescribed allergy medication and am taking it, but...
It's disheartening to hear that there is no cure for floaters.
Do I just have to put up with this?
I am wondering if there is any way to manage it so that it doesn't get worse.
For those of you with floaters, have you found any lifestyle habits or management methods helpful?

CommentsIf you feel fine normally but experience symptoms resembling strabismus when you space out or lose concentration, it would be a good idea to get an eye exam at an ophthalmologist. If these changes have been occurring frequently recently, it is best not to dismiss them as mere fatigue. If accompanied by double vision or decreased visual acuity, please seek medical attention promptly.320026.11.04 - 03250026.11.06
- 01CommentsYes, it is worth getting your eyes checked if your vision remains the same but your eyes get tired easily. While it could simply be fatigue caused by overuse, there may also be underlying causes that are not easily visible on an eye chart, such as dry eyes, reduced focusing ability, or early signs of presbyopia. In particular, if you experience slow focus, eye strain, or even headaches after looking at close text for a long time, it is advisable to have it checked by an ophthalmologist. For those in their 40s or older, these symptoms may appear first as presbyopia begins to set in. If it were me, I would start by checking not only your vision but also your refraction test, tear film, and dry eye status. It is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible if the condition has suddenly worsened, if only one eye feels particularly uncomfortable, or if it is accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, pain, or flashes of light.625026.09.28
