Eye floaters: what they are and what to do if you notice them, according to an eye doctor

According to Vision Center, eye floaters and flashes can be diagnosed by a medical professional through a dilated eye exam. During this exam, the doctor will apply eye drops in order to widen your pupils in order to check for eye floaters. If a diagnosis is set, the doctor will further provide you with a suitable treatment.

Some of the treatments include vitrectomy, an invasive surgery that can remove eye floaters from your line of vision through a small incision, and through laser therapy that helps reduce the floaters by breaking them down, according to Healthline. The latter procedure isn’t always recommended since it’s still experimental.

Don’t forget that the best way to keep your eyes and vision healthy are regular check-ups and being aware of potential symptoms that may be a sign of an underlying condition.
