Suggest Treatment For Eye Floaters
Hello, my name is Miles, i have these floaters in my eyes, some look like segmented worms, one looks like a worm that is tangled up in the middle and then there are some that are just little circles with a spot in the middle. I've been trying to figure out what theses things are for the past ear now, I've been told everything from eye floaters, tape worm larvae, and that they are caused my my tooth. I lost a filling in one of my teeth, and my wisdom teeth started coming in about a year ago and that's around the time when they started getting bad? any ideas?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having problem of floaters in eye.
Floaters are because if opacities in the vitreous as a result of degenerations of vitreous. Majority if them are benign and may not require treatment. However if floaters are increasing or if associated with flashes of light require evaluation to rule out causes like retinal tears.
If floaters are very much problematic you can undergo treatment like laser vitreolysis.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
