Cataracts Treatment

Question by JamesC: Is there a Web Site(s) that I can ask an ACTUAL human eye Doctor specific questions for free, and response?
No cataracts. Wear prescription glasses.
Have, for many years (what I’ve named)”Black Dot Floaters”…..
I can roll my eyes and get the “DOT” to get out of my main-line-of-vision for a while. “Dot”, is not consistant……..”Floats” to other areas of my eyes, then “Floats” back…..then I have to roll my eyes again to ‘clear’.

Is there a SAFE procedure to clear without having to go through ‘lens replacement’ and/or Lasik?

You should ask a doctor. There are occasionally some on this site giving answers. I don’t know any specific sites. I also don’t think any doctor would diagnose or suggest treatment for you without first physically examining you.

That said I have a floater too. The floater actually does not move in my field of vision. It appears to move when my eyes move, and when I look to the right it is under my eyelid and cannot see it. My doctor told me that floaters are like a hardened bubble inside the eye, and if they move in the eye it would be imperceptible. He also said that there is no way to treat a floater.

I hope my experience helps as it relates to yours, but you should see a doctor in person not just to seek a solution, but also to make sure you are asking about the right problem.

It’s called corneal opacity. It can happen because of trauma, infection or can be congenital opacity. Not all impaired have it.
