I've had a floater in my right eye for as long as I can remember. Possibly my whole life. I had a Retina Specialist who was treating my parents for wet macular degeneration take a look at it. He said that in my case it wasn't a concern, but he could treat it through various methods if it bothered me.

I have improved my vision with AREDS 2 vitamins to where I only wear glasses to read uber small print. It has taken 5+ years but well worth 25¢ a day. No itchy eyes here but less eye crud in the morning. The transition from dark to first light of the day is now no longer a blinding situation. Could go on but they work. Amazing the eye doctors never mention these. Especially the ones who sell high profit margin glasses.
Vision Shield is a terrible choice. It has only 10 Lutein and 2 Zea. for 2 doses. Natures was which is not even the best has 25/5.8

I first got them in my early 60's. All of a sudden I had bugs buzzing me and I would duck. Driving with a bright sky I thought they were flocks of birds. They did settle down and I got used to them. I had cataract surgery and later had the secondary cataract forming and got the YAG laser treatment. After that I had cascades of black floaters and was really bummed out. After a while they started going away. I asked the Dr about that and she said they settle out. I only have occasional black floaters now but I have the blurs that move across your field of vision every time you move your eyes in a different direction. It is really distracting because it blurs my vision. They tell me there's nothing that can be done. Most eye specialists will not do fluid replacement as there are too many issues with it.
I have learned the hard way that all the promises they make for eye procedures have more complications than they tell you. Had laser surgery to correct my vision with no glasses. I never was 20/20 and had to start wearing glasses after about a year. Then I had cataract surgery and wasn't going to have to wear glasses again. I'm wearing glasses again but can drive ok with plain sunglasses and can get by without them except at night or watching tv. All eye procedures have some kind of issue that you aren't told about.

What viscosity??
It's a retina scan that gives them a cross section view of the retina. It can detect detachments or other conditions of the retina.
Yup...don't mess with the eyes! My mother had detached retinas in both eyes. She had 3 surgeries were afterward she had to lay face down all day and night for 4 weeks - they inject a bubble into her eye and she had to be face down so the bubble traveled to the area with the detached retina. None of those surgeries worked and she finally found someone doing a different surgery and it worked. There can be a hereditary component so that's fun.
