Living with Floaters
Dear doctors, thank you so much for your help. Especially doctor mittal, every time I get nervous about my floaters I think of your experience of living with it. It gives me hope and strength. This time I am here to ask all of you to be the kindest and suggest me a good antioxidant capsule I can take to stall the liquefaction and keep my eyes and most importantly the vitreous healthy. Also suggest me any lifestyle changes that I can incorporate to improve or avoid any deterioration. Thank you so much....
