Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Floaters: floaters are basically old cells shed from the retina into the vitreous. As far as I know there is nothing they can do its just a huge nuisance. I know I have always had them and they have gotten worse over the years. It makes looking through a microscope at bacteria especially interesting.
