Likely causes:
1. 1. Floaters are normal for high myopes and indeed the entire population as they grow older (50% by age 50 and 70% by age 70).
2. There is no cure for floaters, no drops or ointments or pills. Laser doesn't help and vitrectomy is almost never indicated.

Awareness of entopic phenomena especially flying corpusle. read the Wikipedia section on entopic phenomena and the discussions here on MedHelp.
I assume that when you say you were diagnosed with MFS, you were diagnosed by a physician knowledgeable about the condition. I assume that when you say "no other defect," you're talking about your eyes.
MFS patients have very high myopia because the axial lengths of their eyes are increased due to the weakness in the sclera of the eye. You should not get laser surgery. There's no way to tell when your eyesight will become stable.
Myopia in MFS has a pathological basis.
After the accident, I noticed a large floater in one eye. I have visited an eye specialist several times and he just prescribed a few vitamin A pills and eye drops for few months after examining my eye. However, I have noticed another small floater in the same eye now and a small floater in another eye. These floaters are really a nuisance and now I have developed an inferiority complex and a lot of insecurity. When I see my friends with healthy eyes, I feel sad for myself.
Three weeks post cataract surgery on my left eye I have flickering on the left side of my left die and have peripheral double vision on the left side. I.e. if someone passes me on the left side or even if I look straight ahead and bring my finger towards my face I see a double image.The closer into my face my finger gets the nearer in from the side is the double image. So that when my finger is less than a foot for my face if I take it out to the left even a couple of inches it's double.
It sounds like you might have some hemosiderin staining--i.e., your skin has been stained by your blood. I had that problem following eye surgery. In some cases, this type of staining can be permanent--but don't worry, I have a solution for you. Google "candela laser" to find the company's website. You'll find a small-scale study in which the AlexTriVantage laser successfully removed "permanent" hemosiderin stains.
I have what the ophthalmologist says could be a "non-active CSR" in my left eye. Had an OCT a little more than a month ago, he says there is a mild abnormality in my RPE which is a sign there may have been a leak but the fluid is now gone. I found this out during my first cataract consult. Here are my questions:
1) How long does it take after the fluid goes away until my symptoms goes away? Should it be days/months?
Thanks! I did see my doctor about the floaters and he said that all is well.
Are you saying that there might be some remedy for my blurry distance vision even though I test 20/13 and plano?
If I hold up a .5 D lens, I see distance sharply but lose all my near vision. My doctor said that the lens creates a telescopic effect as opposed to a correction.
I also want to know how is it possible that after the 360 laser on my left eye for precautionary the vitrous then started pulling and retina detached. I must also mention that I am myopic -6. Now I have sclera buckle in both eyes. I must also mention that the current detachment on my right eye is not interfering with my vision. Please help from South Africa.
Most recently (this year) I had laser on my other eye to repair a small detachment and tears, and because the surgeon intended to do everything possible to seal off the problem, I was given an injection of anesthetic in my eye before the laser. In other words, the surgeon anticipated that the laser could cause pain. I do have lattice but was treated with laser only when tears/holes appeared.
I hope by now your pain is gone!
another opthalmologist just told me that i am not suffering from exotrophia, but just an eye power problem. i was told by him that my right eye has a positive number and the right eye goes out of focus towards my ear when m not wearing glasses. he will be able to reduce it to normal by laser. i would like to know how much could be the success chance in my case and does the laser have major side effects?
Actually I've been to Asg eye hospital and was seen by an eye MD opthalmologist only?
I am 28 and I recently looked into laser eye surgery. I was a good candidate, except that my prescription had changed within the last year. I thought that for most people, the prescriptions stabilize during the early 20's. Is it possible for this to be extended through the late 20's too? Could I expect my vision to stabilize within the next couple of years?
Read the section on entoptic phenomena on Wikipedia. Some are seen with eyes closed, some with open.
About a month ago I had yag laser treatment (by another surgeon) of one eye. It went from pre-laser treatment 20/15 distance vision to post-laser treatment of 20/25 distance vision. The second surgeon is not sure why that happened. I do recall the first surgeon saying he was going to do slight monovision although I don't recall which eye that was -- I thought it was the other eye.
(1) Would capsulotomy tend to decrease refraction within the eye (increase focal length) and thereby reduce the amount of negative correction presently needed? (2) Would you suggest that I undergo surgery on the left eye in the near future and defer it for the right one -- or, would you suggest that surgery be performed on both eyes in the near future during one session?
Postscript: Overall, I believe that monovision was a good choice.
occludable angles means the part of the eye where the fluid drains out (angle) between the iris and the cornea is narrow due to being a short eye (far-sighted) and that the iris could block the flow out of the eye causing an acute or subacute or recurrent attack of angle closure glaucoma. To prevent this from happening if Eye MD ophthalmologists see it they use a laser iridotomy (hole in the iris) to prevent the attack from developing.
Laser coagulation of retina was done prior to cataract surgery of one eye, since there were small tears or holes in that eye. Prior to laser coagulation there were no symptoms, but 2 days after that flashes started. They went down in frequency and cataract surgery was done after 5 weeks. Flashes started again after 3 days and went down but come occasionally even after 11 months.
There are two treatments being advertised for sufferers of severe floaters-more laser surgery, said to target the large bodies in the eye, that are not close to the macula, and, Floaters only Vitrectomy (FOV). The laser treatment of floaters has shown little success, from stats I've read. There are dangers as well, because of possible retinal damage from the laser. The FOV is only offered by a limited number of eye doctors, however, that list is growing.
My doctor tells me that in some cases a floater near the outside of the lens can be eradicated with a Yag Laser. However, I have cell growth in this same eye that developed from an IOL Replacement so it also needs a Capsulotomy. If the doctor can laser the floater and get rid of it will that help prevent retinal detachment if he decides to do the Capsulotomy afterwards in the same eye?
t experienceing any vision problems in this eye prior to the laser retinopexy procedure, as the tear was detected during my annual eye exam by an eye physician. It should be noted that this was my "good eye" prior to the procedure, as it was rated better in the vision test over the other eye. After the laser retinopexy procedure, I have experienced wavy lines at the center of my vision of the repaired eye that won't go away.
I would probably recommend grid laser and possibly PRP for the right eye. And possibly grid laser for the left eye. Grid laser is done near the macula outside of the foveal avascular zone with much lower energy and spot size...goal is to seal off the leaky blood vessels. Whereas the goal for PRP is larger energy and spot size its job is to "kill" off the irregular cells "telling" the blood vessels to make more, irregular blood vessels (neovascularization).
