It has been a little over two months since I came to see you for a consult on my “floaters.” They have not improved. I watched the diskette you gave me several times, and all I could think is “that’s me.” I first noticed the huge floater in my right eye about 18 months ago… I was told it would eventually float down below my line of vision – so far it has not. Now that I know that it can be corrected, I’ve decided I would like to move forward with the procedure.

This condition can be “lived with” as I’ve been told, but it’s a miserable experience.
