What Is The Treatment For Mucus In The Eye?
My right eye seems to have large floaters of mucus on it the last few days. It coincides with high cedar polllen count in Austin, TX at the beginning of the season, although I have never had allergies to cedar before. The reading glasses I usually use don't help the blurry vision that seems to come and go. I had my eyes checked in the fall by an eye doctor and all I needed at that time was to continue to use OTC reading glasses. I am 75. This mucus is more annoying than irritating in any way.

Vision, refraction, fund us, Measurement of IOT and Investigation to exclude diabetis ,hypertention. If youhave got history of sensitivity to pollen then take levocetrizine tablet 5mg daily for ten days, Diagnosis and proper treatment is posible with other investigation,Floaters are degenerative body in vitreous.
