I know that if I told my hubs about this problem, he will definitely chide me for delaying a trip to the ophthalmologist. He will probably comment that I would go blind if I have such a lackadaisical attitude towards my own health. I have written about having those black eye floaters in my vision several times since last year but can you beat it that I still have not made a trip to the eyes specialist? What made me write about this is because for the past few days, the black floaters appeared more frequently on my right eye. While I was seated on the throne yesterday, I could see the black floaters (which look like a tiny black spider hanging on its web swinging in front of me) each time I moved my eyeball — to the left, right, up and down. The single black floater on the right eye was there for several minutes each time I moved my eyeball deliberately. Several times when I had a drink, I thought that there was a drop of black dirt on the water but on closer look and after several blinks, I realized that it was the black floater. I hope to really make a trip to ISEC @ Mid Valley for an eye check next month, during the mid year school term break.
floaters can be due to many reasons and I think you should not delay. Go ISEC asap and try to go in the afternoon, the queue’s not so long.
i just had my eye checked on thursday. i asked the opthamologist what floaters are and she said it’s degenerative changes of the gel that fills our eye. This is rather common as we age. As long as you don’t wake up one day and notice 1 big patch of black floater blocking your vision, then this is nothing to be alarmed 🙂
Oh thanks Barb for the update! What a relief. But I think I will still try to make a visit to ISEC to check my eyes as well as my girls’ eyes 🙂
