I’ve had a couple of floaters for years (tiny specks sort of sliding around in my field of vision). My eye doctor said they’re normal, and not to worry about them.

However, it’s definitely a good idea to have your eyes checked for glaucoma every couple of years, especially if it’s in your family, and the doctor can let you know if you have any other problems. Even if a stranger on Yahoo Answers says floaters are OK, only a doctor can tell you for sure.

Question by bob: Having Eye floaters normal?
I’m 15 and I thought i had a dumb ass special ability to see microrganisms but when i watched a family guy episode they saw what i saw too. I lol’d at first. Then i searched up eye floaters. They said it happens to elder and or middle aged people who have
# have had inflammation inside the eye;
# are nearsighted;
# have undergone cataract surgery;
# have had YAG laser surgery of the eye
I never had any of those. Am i weird?
I do not wear glasses nor do I see black floaters I just see floaters at the age of 15 when supposedly your suppose to see them at middle age and seniors…

These are NOT normal… if your floaters are black, you may just have debris floating in the aqueous humor, but if you see little light specks, you may have something very serious such as a retinal problem. Don’t wait, go get this looked at ASAP.

I see halos, too. Mine is from a progressive eye disease called keratoconus. You might want to get your eyes checked out if you haven’t done so already.

Question by chessteachr: If a 79 year old female has a “vitrectomy” because catract fell into eye is that normal?
1st doctor did cataract surgery part of catract fell into the eye(said the middle part was super hard).Then she had to have second surgery”vitrectomy” to remove it.But in 2nd operation her new lens had to be removed.Doctor has this and that excuse.Is that grounds for medical law suit?

Answer by Jennifer G
Actually, I work doing medical transcription for a group of eye surgeons, and I have seen it before where a piece of the original lens is retained or drops into the vitreous, necessitating the need for a pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy. This is a risk of the original cataract surgery, but I would get a 2nd, even 3rd opinion if there have been additional complications. The fact that there was a retained lens fragment without additional complications, probably won’t make for a very strong case. (this also happened to my aunt…and they replaced the secondary lens at the time of her vitrectomy)
