Eye Drops

#1 Post by jwellsy » Mon Oct 24, 2022 11:08 pm

I seem to have a lot of floaters on my eyes. Sometimes I wiggle the stage to see if the floaters wiggle. I'm thinking of getting either some saline or DI water to rinse my eyeballs to cut down on the floaters.

Have any of you tried eye drops to flush off some of the floaters? I don't really see a downside to trying it. But, sometimes a simple question can reveal a gross conceptual error.

Many, if not all, floaters are inside the eye … and drops won’t help

If you do want to try drops, I would recommend Celluvisc [which the hospital prescribed for me]
