[QUOTE="Diohandi, post: 743139, member: 155644"] Get to a decent retinopathy expert as soon as possible, and forget about whether you have diabetes or not for now. When this happened to me, they found that my retina was being pulled, as the vitreous matter in my eye was shrinking. As it was shrinking, it was pulling my retina down, leading to floaters. I went to so many people in stores and hospital emergency departments, but nothing was done until I saw the correct specialist for my eyes, privately, as trying to go through normal channels just simply held me up. I had surgery to take the vitreous matter out, and the big floaters vanished. Only one or two tiny ones were left until they settled down. I had laser surgery during this procedure, to 'stick' my retina back into its original position. Yes, they found a cataract a few years later, and I have since had it removed. My left eye sees very well now, despite the vitrectomy, laser surgeries as a diabetic and cataract removal. So don't lose hope. I had the floaters since 8 years ago and they haven't returned. Just remember, see the consultant / specialist, book up an eye assessment in a store if it can speed things up for you, go privately to save time. Good luck. Please feel free to ask any questions!
