Floaters r nt dangerous-benign. but benign turns to malignant. so can't we stop it in benign not to wait for it being malignant.i m 19, -2.5 myopic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two issues here: Myopia of -2.5 at age 19 means that the myopia will never get very high for this person. Floaters are common and when they are too numerous to count or associated with light flashes need to be evaluated . Floaters cannot become malignant or cancerous.
