re: #213 A Cranky One

Had vitreous detachments in both eyes. Was very lucky neither retina got detached. However, I have massive floaters in both eyes now. Vision fluctuates constantly from poor to great, making driving interesting at times.

People with astigmatism (hands up here) are very prone to vitreous detachments. I have major floaters in both eyes. It is amazing how well you can manage to “work” around them. An acquaintance with major problems from diabetes has had the fluid in his eyeballs replaced to alleviate the floater issue. I had no idea you could do that, but he is out and about after being virtually blind.
