How Do You Treat A Condition Where There Are Floaters In Vision All Day?
MY left eye seems to have something floating on it. It's kind of cloudy at times. There seems to be black lines in a circle or half moon shape that moves when my eye moves from side to side or up and down. Drives me crazy. I'm ready to see a ophthalmologist. Have had this condition for three days.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sudden onset of floaters in your eye.
These are because of opaciries in vitreous.
The causes for gloaters are age related degenerations, vitreous hemorrhage, inflammations of retina and vitreous.
Since you are having sudden onset of floaters retinal diseases like retinal tears and prodtomal symptoms of retinal detachment needs to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist without delay at the earliest.
Thank you
