Your eye is getting better already - it just has to keep doing that! Did the doc say what the black dots are?

HUGS and more prayers coming out to you!

These are called floaters and under normal conditions, are harmless. Most people have them to some degree, and the chances increase with age. They are microscopic fibers that clump together and float around in the liquid inside of your eye. I've had them ever since I can remember - even as a teen. When I had cataract surgery several years ago, they were "sucked out", but I've noticed them coming back again.

Karen - you really should call the doctor now and not wait any longer. Prayers and well wishes going out to you from Delaware.

YES KAREN, PLEASE CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!! Lots more prayers are coming your way.

Karen, you've been in my prayers. I am glad to know there is some improvement, even if its frustratingly slow.

I've had floaters for as long as I can remember. Not fun that's for sure. Losing my vision is one of my biggest fears. I can't imagine what you are going through Karen. I wish a continued and speedy recovery and hopefully you won't need surgery. Hugs and Love to you!!!!

Karen I'm so sorry you're going through this. Hugs and good wishes for HUGE improvement in the future (and no more tears)!

Love,

Leslie & crew.

Woke up today, Wednesday.. have a slight white veil. Oops. Didn't call the doc but will call on Friday if it worsens. Poop! My first thought was that I strained my eyes using the computer, but I heightened the boldness so I doubt it but I'm petrified. First improvement, then by the end of the week, downhill. I wasn't given any instuctions on what I can't do, except no workouts at the gym. Maybe I lift stuff I don't consider heavy for me. You'd think the doc would tell me. I never thought to ask. He's suppose to be the BEST retina surgeon in the area. I'm sure he is but I think he's so involved in the exam, he forgets. I'm too upset and nervous to think of anything. *Breathe, Breathe Breathe*
