Flashes and floater?


I'm been having eye problem I see flashes and floater on day light, I went to the eye doctor but they did not find nothing wrong whit my eyes. I'm very worried what it could be....

From time to time we all experience flashes and floaters which means nothing serious with our eyes ,It can be responce to bright light ,or dust etc
if they appear then go straight away they mean not thing it is if they stay for very long periods or permanent then we worry

The center of the eye, the hollow part, isn't hollow. It has a gel, the vitreous humor that is fairly thick. It's attached at the front of the eye to the side of the colored part, where it meets the white part.

This gel, as it gets older, becomes more and more liquified. There are pockets of gel, and pockets of fluid in the gel. When the eyeball is moved, this gel will move but the water won't move as easily so it creates shearing forces. If the gel yanks on the retina, up in front where it is tightly attached, you'll perceive this as light flashes. If you tug on your shirt, you'll feel it on your body. The retina can't 'feel' but it does pick up light. This tugging causes the light flahses.

If the gel tugs really hard, it'll tear the retina. If that area bleeds, you'd pick up a lot of new little floaters. A retinal tear should be sealed so the liqued gel won't get under the tear and allow the retina to float into the vitreous cavity. That's called a retinal detachment.

The gel may detach off the back of the eye. This is called a Posterior Vitreous Detachment and is the primary cause for new floaters.

For you, with the symptoms you describe, I'd suggest that you call your local retina specialist and talk to someone in that office about your symptoms. They'll schedule a visit SOON.

You will be dilated so the specialist can get a good look at your peripheral retina. If he/she doesn't find anything wrong, you probably don't have anything other than a posterior vitreous detachment. If they find a tear or two or ?, they can treat it then (a little laser around the tear(s)).

Floaters are very common. If they bother you, just close your eyes and move them back and forth a few times. Repeat this if you still see them. Flashes are a bit more serious. If they are sharp bright flashes, this could mean your retina is acting up.

Does are floaters. I have them in the age of 17. As far as I can remember I always had them, on and of. Theres nothing to worry about. They will go away and won't cause anything bad to your eyes. I asked the same question here and a doctor answered it.
There are a few kind of floaters, I have one dot and two lines. At the first time they can be annoying, but you get use to it. Calm down. Everybody will have floaters. I'm very young and not worried about it and exactly know what it is.

Stop staring at the sun.

    IF the doctor says it will go away eventually, it most likely will. 3 weeks is just not enough time. Call and ask what timeframe to expect!
