My Floaters Are Gone. Long Live My Floaters?

I have floaters and have had them for a few years now. Mine look like
multi-celled single-strand organisms and move in and out of my field of
view. I can see them at high powers when using a telescope but not all the
time. I did some research on the net an found this site:

http://www.eyefloaters.com/index.cfm

Apparently, The FDA considers the procedure a non-risk issue.

Take Care,

JAS

I must have been about five-years old when I first became aware of my
floaters. We had a chandelier in our foyer and if I squinted my eyes

Sounds great for those with the type(s) of floater(s) that can be
reduced/eliminated by the procedure, but results appear to be quite variable
and procedure not applicable for many. Check out "Floater Types-Success" in
the menu on the left side of the web page that you hyperlinked.

How does one discern? I didn't realize that
the treatment prospects were different for
different kinds of floaters. The only two
treatments are frought with nasty risks.
The specialist I saw doesn't
think it's a good idea to change the
eyeball fluid, or the explode the floaters
with a laser.

What I wrote was a joke... The liquids within the eye are known as
"humors." You had set me up perfectly for that one.

Ha ha ha. I was miffed cuz I didn't get the
joke. Then I got it. How ironic that they
are "humors".

Fred,
we've discussed this subject before...with an intent
on astronomical reasons to remove floaters, but
I believe our findings were in agreement with
what you were told....that no surgeon would
risk it by any current procedure. Guess its just
something you live with.
Clear Skies,
Tom W.

In most cases, C-4 has shown to be much more effective at exploding
floaters and clumps of floaters, than have lasers.

Us old coots with telescopes are waiting with baited breath for the results.

I can't seem to find anything meaningful about
C4 (or C-4) and eye floaters. I used google.
Can you post a reference? Thanks.
