Suggest Treatment For Floaters In Eyes
I am a 60 year old male. I am a professional violinist and have a floating eye syndrome. It feels like I have a hair floating in my eye. It is very uncomfortable and I have used eye lotions to try and clear it out and nothing seems to work. What can I do for this very annoying condition. I need my eyes to read music.

Hello there.
Floaters can be distressing when it begins.Most floaters are more of age related change which donot require any form of treatment.Eye solutions donot work for floaters.Only treatment is to ignore those tiny hairs and web like images. Just to be sure what your experiencing is physiological and not something to be alarmed about you need to consult for retina examination with an ophthalmologist.
Hope this was helpful.
Thankyou
