Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr Dadapeer k an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having sudden onset of floaters in your good eye.
Floaters are usually because of problems involving the vitreous which lies behind the lens in the posterior part of the eye.
In your age the commonest cause for this is the posterior vitreous detachment of the vitreous. This condition is usually seen because of age related changes in the vitreous and will not cause any harm.
But sometimes this can be associated with retinal tear, vitreous hemorrhage....
Hence this requires eye examination by ophthalmologist to confirm the diagnosis and to look for associated conditions. Your ophthalmologist will perform a simple office test called as indirect ophthalmoscopy after dilating the pupil.
This test will confirm the diagnosis and after this the appropriate treatment can be planned.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and do get back to with the examination report.
I can say if it is only posterior vitreous detachment then it is not serious, but it requires examination to rule out other conditions as mentioned.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
