In this case, the fundus should first be dilated, because when there is a lesion in the fundus, such as retinal hemorrhage, retinal inflammation, retinal tear, or retinal detachment and other lesions in the fundus, there will be a black shadow or flying flocculation in front of the eyes. If there is no problem with the fundus through fundus examination, floaters may be caused by myopia, or vitreous degenerative changes in middle-aged and elderly people, in this case there is no need, and there is no effective way, what is needed is to pay attention to the changes in the condition.

What should I do if I have floaters?

1. Physiological floaters.

Physiological floaters are mainly caused by changes in the structure of body tissues that lead to vitreous liquefaction as patients age. It is characterized by an insidious onset, mild symptoms, and generally does not affect vision.

Physiological floaters can be appropriately used, and the use of iodine-containing preparations and eye drops can play a role in reducing and slowing down vitreous opacity. However, the effect varies from person to person, and some patients are more sensitive to drugs, and the effect is better, and floaters will be significantly improved; There is no significant change in symptoms after medication, and there is no need to be overly anxious.

2. Pathological floaters.

Pathological floaters are mostly related to trauma, inflammation, and fundus hemorrhage, and the symptoms are more severe than physiological floaters, accompanied by vision loss.

Such as retinal detachment, uveitis, retinal hemorrhage, etc. Vitreous opacity is caused when inflammatory cells or blood cells enter the vitreous, and these disorders often require mydriatic examination and subsequent targeting.

If it is vitreous hemorrhage caused by trauma, inflammation, diabetic retinopathy, and vitreous hemorrhage caused by retinal vein occlusion, it is necessary to be hospitalized for surgery, such as vitrectomy and filling.

What should I do if I find "floaters"? The correct course of action is to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible to determine the nature of the "floaters". There are many patients who will ask worriedly:

If you have floaters, will your eyes go blind? "Generally speaking, due to senile vitreous degeneration, coupled with eye overuse, fatigue, etc., floaters are a kind of vitreous opacity with no obvious harm, and the vast majority of floaters do not affect visual function and do not require special drugs**. As long as you take proper rest, avoid fatigue, eat and live reasonably, develop good eye hygiene habits, such as taking a break for 5 to 10 minutes every hour for a long time, don't use the computer for too long, and stop using it if you feel unwell, and eat more foods rich in vitamin C and lutein, such as vegetables and fruits.

Although the vast majority of floaters are not obviously harmful, a few of them are precursor symptoms of serious eye diseases, such as retinal detachment or vitreous hemorrhage, so you should not take it lightly. When there are the following phenomena, it is necessary to be especially vigilant and seek a detailed examination by a qualified ophthalmologist in time: for example, severe vision loss, distorted or distorted vision; redness, pain, photophobia, and excessive tearing of the eyes; accompanied by a fixed dark shadow; Flash; Sudden appearance of a large number of black spots, etc.

If floaters are caused by heavy bleeding in the eye, retinal detachment, etc., surgery is required**.

Physiological floaters are generally not required**.

Age-related posterior vitreous detachment, if there is no simultaneous vitreous hemorrhage, retinal tear and other lesions, is physiological floaters, otherwise it is pathological**.

Pathological floaters are a bit more complex. For example, accidental lesions such as endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal tears, and ocular trauma, as well as eye lesions caused by systemic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.

Most of the pathological floaters are not a good sign, and you need to seek medical examination and timely examination.

Prevention of floaters.

In order to prevent "floaters", it is necessary to avoid excessive eye use, especially reading or surfing the Internet for a long time; For an hour of eye use, you should rest or look away for 10 to 15 minutes.

In addition, it is important to take rest, eat a balanced diet, exercise appropriately, and establish good lifestyle habits.

Timely** systemic diseases related to eye health, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, etc.

What should I do if I have floaters?

The symptoms of physiological floaters are relatively stable, generally do not affect vision, do not need special **, and do not need to worry too much about floaters and cause psychological problems.

555 I also have floaters in my eyes, I went to the hospital to see a doctor before, and the doctor said that there is no medicine to take, but you should pay attention to rest, use your eyes less, and don't do strenuous exercise.

Pay more attention to eye rest, a slight floater does not affect anything, you can let the doctor prescribe some medicine**, if it affects normal life, you need to do laser or surgery**.

Floaters is a common term, a folk saying, in fact it is a scientific name for vitreous opacity. Vitreous opacity is divided into two types, the first is pathological vitreous opacity, and the second is physiological vitreous opacity.

a) Pathological vitreous opacity.

It may be caused by ocular trauma or fundus hemorrhage, resulting in vitreous opacity. That requires the investigation of the cause, which may require surgery or medication**.

2) Physiological vitreous opacity.

But most of them are physiological vitreous opacities, how do physiological vitreous opacities form? Most of them are denatured with age, so they have small cloudy black spots. What to do if you have floaters.

The so-called floaters are mostly vitreous opacities in medicine, and different causes of floaters need to be treated differently: if it is floaters caused by myopia and senile posterior vitreous detachment, and there are no other eye diseases and have little impact on vision, there is generally no need to do special**; For floaters caused by fundus hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, inflammation and other ocular lesions, it is necessary to carry out targeted treatment in a timely manner, and finally treat floaters through the primary disease.

As long as you maintain a good attitude, have enough sleep, have few chances, and have no impact on vision, the cases of floaters disappear on their own are actually very few, accounting for only 4% of the total, except for the vitreous opacity caused by bleeding or inflammation may disappear, the vast majority of the vitreous opacity that causes floaters will not disappear throughout their lives, and the examples that will disappear are because the opacity is removed from the line of sight; The lightening and smallening is due to the fact that the cloudiness moves forward, so ophthalmologists often reassure patients that floaters are okay and will disappear, but in fact there is a gap between this and the actual situation.

There is no need to be too nervous about suffering from floaters, which will not affect your vision and will not harm your eye health, so you don't need to have too much psychological pressure. A detailed fundus examination and ophthalmologic ultrasound examination are needed to understand the severity of floaters. Mild floaters can be absorbed by taking aminoiodopeptide eye drops, taking lecithin and iodine capsules orally, or by intramuscular injection of amtoiodine.

Severe floaters can be ablated with laser**, which breaks up large vitreous opacities, and then uses drugs to promote absorption.

Don't panic, go to a regular hospital and see a doctor.

Physiological floaters are generally not required**. This is because floaters are usually caused by the aging of the vitreous humor. The vitreous is caused by the uneven density caused by the process of changing the gelatinous substance of the young age into the liquid watery substance of the old age.

At this time, the vitreous body is not turbid, as if there are one or two leaves floating in a pool of clear water. There is no medicine that can remove this "leaf". Pigmentitis is different, it is an inflammation of the pigment membrane, which requires anti-inflammatory drugs**, and the vitreous is called cloudy at this time.

Pathological floaters are a manifestation of the disease, which is mostly caused by moderate to high myopia, bleeding inside the eyeball, inflammation, etc. In general, these causes can be detected by a simple examination and need to be treated for ** to be cured.
