Suggest Treatment For Vision Problem
For the past two days I have experienced problems with my left eye. When I move the eye from side to side I can see what appears to be floating objects in my field of vision. At the moment it is just an annoyance but I want to be sure it is nothing more serious.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having floaters in eye.
Floaters are because of ooacities in the vitreous and they are usually because of degenerations of vitreous.
Floaters are usually benign problem and will not cause ant complication.
Hence no need to worry about floaters.
However if you have sudden increase in floaters or association with flashes of light it requires examination of the retina by ophthalmologist.
Thank you
