How Can severe Eye Floaters Be Treated?
I have developed an ever-increasing amount of floaters in my right eye over the last couple of years. My field of vision in that eye is now filled with them. A few nights ago I noticed that I was seeing red right above & below in the headlights of passing vehicles. I am nearsighted & have been for 45 yrs. & I was diagnosed with high blood pressure a couple of yrs ago. Diabetes & Hypothyroidism are prevalent in my maternal family though I have not yet been diagnosed with either.
