Alright, I figured one of you guys might be able to help me out. I have developed floaters in my R eye. I've been reading up about retinal detachments and posterior vitreous detachments, and all that good stuff. But I was wondering, if I did in fact have a retinal detachment leading to these floaters, wouldn't there be some accompanying signs or visual disturbances? Incidentally, I'm 27, -5D myope, and I haven't noticed any flashing lights or decreased visual acuity. I tried to test my own visual fields (if that's possible), and they seemed fine too.
I will be seeing my OD next week some time, and I expect these are just vitreal condensations (at least I hope). Anybody know the stats on what % of floaters are bad news?
Thanks for the help!
