Question : I am having problems as I am seeing things from the corner of my eye. motion .people etc
Brief Answer:
Check the macula by eye specialist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The description of the problems is not clear. I still did not understand what were the problems by seeing things from corner. Is it a habit? or are you not able to see straight? Did you see the doctor? Got the eyes tested?
At this age related macular degeneration is common and that leads to these visual problems that I assume you have. I suggest that you get the retina checked with an Ophthalmoscope by the eye specialist. Early changes in the macula can be treated. There is no point to waste time if you can get good quality of vision with early treatments.

Brief Answer:
Vitreous floater
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You have floaters in the vitreous. This can be part of the age related vitreal degeneration. These condensed particles get absorbed eventually. Most will fade over time and become less annoying or noticeable.
You should learn to relax and try to live comfortably till they get absorbed.
