Suggest Remedy For Eye Floaters While Diagnosed With Scleroderma
I have been having flashes of light in my left eye in the lower corner. I was diagnosed with scleroderma in 2004. I have been on plaquenil but am not on now. I have seen my eye doctor and he said everything looked fine, need to know what is going on.

Hi and welcome to HCM,
Floaters are caused, as a result of the normal wear and tear of the inner eye layer.Floaters are very common complaints by patients. Fortunately majority of floaters are not serious, but never the less they should be checked and any serious cause ,ruled out.
In your case it looks to be fine.Anyways pls remember any sudden increase in the number of floaters and flashes of light, should be examined.
All the best !!
