FAQ on Floating Flies:

1. What are floaters?

Floating flies are small floating bodies that can be perceived in the eye, especially in bright environments. They are a common eye symptom.
2. When should I see an ophthalmologist?

It is essential to see an ophthalmologist immediately if floaters appear suddenly, as this can indicate serious problems such as retinal detachment or uveitis.
3. What treatments are available?

There are several treatment approaches for floaters, including vitrectomy (a delicate surgery), laser (still experimental) and the use of specific eye drops.
4. Is vitrectomy recommended for all cases of floaters?

No, vitrectomy is only indicated in special situations, when floaters cause great discomfort or when there are significant risks involved.
5. Are there non-surgical alternatives for treating floaters?

Yes, the use of eye drops, such as atropine in low concentration, can reduce the perception of floaters. However, this does not eliminate them completely.
