I have bad eye floaters too, have you given any thought to a vitrectomy? I keep reading the literature and watching youtube videos, haven't made a final decision on it yet but am getting more tempted.

Just wondering if you have any thoughts.

I haven’t considered it. There was a small time frame where I thought these are "serious" conditions which worsens my ability to see over time, but apparently it’s just a normal thing and I know that I usually react overly sensitive to "anything". Like in: if an average persons says that a cup of tea is warm, I’d say it’s hot. I try to put most things I encounter in/on me to this perspective and it massively helped me calming down over these things. I just stopped attributing floaters (amongst other things) any brain time and since then I basically forgot I have them.

Ah, mine are not something that I can possibly forget, they're very visible and intrusive. I've cut down on computer use a lot because of it, they're very irritating and prominent.
