Floaters


Sometimes in Dec 2010, Mummy complained seeing some tiny black dots in her right eyes... after sometimes it still remained and did not disappear. So mummy decided to consult specialist to find out what was it.

Initial checked was told it was "Floaters" due to aging. Appointment was made to go back for review a month later.

Details scanned was done during reviewed. Doctor found retinal tears on both her eyes and suggested for laser.

Poor mummy, I wished her good health !


Floaters "飞蚊" are those tiny spots, specks, flecks and "cobwebs" that drift aimlessly around in your field of vision. Floaters are caused from normal aging changes of the vitreous humor and usually aren't cause for alarm.

Retinal tear occurs when part of the retina separates from the outer layers of the eye. If not treated early, retinal tears can lead to a more serious condition called retinal detachment, which may lead to partial or complete loss of vision.
