Could An Old Eye Injury Result In Eyeball Edema?
Hi, I am 33 this year and had a fall when I was young (~7-8 years old). Hit my left eye on a stone chair but vision is alright. I noticed that there is a brown patch on my eyeball when i lift up my eyelid, could it be due to the fall i had? I had eye test last year as i sometimes see a bright spot but after the check, the eye specialist concluded that there is nothing wrong with my eye. But sometimes i feel strained in the eye and i am having alot of floaters in both eyes. please advise if the brown patch and the floaters are normal. thanks.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having floaters and brown patch in the eye. The brown patch is not related to injury but floaters can be seen associated with injury as a result of injury resulting in liquefaction of vitreous.
Floaters alone does not require treatment. But it requires evaluation to look for any damage to underlying retina by indirect ophthalmoscopy.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
