Suggest Treatment For Eye Floaters

Hi, I had a simple problem which is diagnosed as normal eye floaters. I went to three different ophthalmologists, and optometrist. My first checkup was at my regular optometrist, which he did full dilated exam, peripheral vision test, and Color blind test. He said my eyes are healthy and eye pressure is normal and also have same eye prescription as before. I then visited O.D, which she also did dilated exam, GDX, Fundus photo, Corneal pachymetry test. She told me my optic nerves are bigger in both eyes, but it could be how I m born. She checked my eye pressure and said it s normal. She told me I might have glaucoma and wanted to to more tests such as field tests on Jan 10, 2012. The last is ophthalmologist who I went every week for testing.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having floaters in the eye. Floaters are because of degenerations in the vitreous and may not require treatment. However floaters require treatment if they are increasing in number and associated with flashes of light.
Since you are also suspected of having glaucoma you require evaluation in this regard to diagnose and treat accordingly.

Thank you
