[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1605753, member: 52527"] Some small floaters are harmless, other floaters are an indication that you are at risk of large bleed into the eye which can obscure your vision for months. You need to be examined so the best idea is to visit your optician as soon as possible. If the floaters are harmless, the optician will be able to put your mind at rest. If the floaters are more sinister, you may need treatment and it's important that this is given in a timely manner to prevent your sight being affected. Take comfort from [USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER] 's testimony and perhaps search the forums for other people's experiences. If the number of floaters start to increase (especially if accompanied by flashes) or if you have a sudden loss of vision, you need to contact eye casualty at your local hospital and ask for advice.
