Hi Helimutt,
You are exactly right but they just replace the old vitreous by a new artificial one. The operation is quite scary I must admit but if it gets too bad there will be no choice or losing my job... I agree with the fact we have to leave with them, but to a certain point though, it all depends on people and the amount and size of the floaters. In my case my vision is still good but dark floaters on the side especially on top of my vision, always in the blue of the sky distract me and I wonder how they will evoluate
So are you saying that you told an AME and he said it was fine ? Also did he mean that an operation can be a solution in the worst case ?
