8- Chief Complain - Two weeks back i noticed a black dot in the eye. I got it checked with optician and the doc said its a floater and I will have to live with it. I've been advised to take vitamin pills and also the doc has given me Renolen eye drops to use. I've been using ever since and its been more than a week. Today morning I've noticed another floater in my eye and its freaking me out. Please advice

Thanks for your Question
There are many causes of eye floaters but the most common cause is vitreous syneresis or vitreous Liquefaction. To read more about eye floaters, click here.
I always advise my patients to have complete ocular examination with dilated fundus examination when they experience eye floaters for the first time followed by another examination 6 weeks later. In this examination we usually look for causes other than vitreous syneresis, such as Uveitis, Vitreous Hemorrhage and retinal detachments. These disorders are easily to be diagnosed and also floaters in these disorders are associated with blurred vision.
I also advise my patients to have annual examination and also to seek medical attention as soon as possible if they notice sudden increase of eye floaters that is associated with Flashes of light.
