Does anyone have an issue with floaters

I recently went the opticians because I suddenly had flashing lights and floaters in both my eyes,I was told it was a vitreous detachment due to age(I'm 72) and no treatment needed I'm very upset because I am unable to drive and although I have been told by my doctor that this is not due to myasthenia gravis I just wondered if any of you have had these symptoms?

  1. I had this happen one high at a time when I was probably in my 50s. It went away pretty quickly for me and I had no lasting effects. My eye doctor saw me immediately because there is always a risk of an optical nerve detachment or a retinal detachment. You said you went to an optician if you didn’t mean, ophthalmologist, you may want to see an ophthalmologist, which is a doctor that is specialized with all facets of the eyeball. An optician is trained to do exams and create prescriptions for eyeglasses. At least that’s my understanding, I hope this resolves itself quickly for you. I’ll be sending healing energy your way.
    Love and Light,
    Frank
