Useful information about Eye Floaters


The common phenomenon that is almost experienced by every human being while rubbing their eyes is common, some kind of cones and spheres occur in the  vision that appear to float in the space before the eye. These are known as phospenes, generally they are termed as floaters. These occur to normal people only when they rub their eyes or happen to awake from sleep. But there exists a condition in which these floaters occur all the time, which make distractions in vision and cause disturbances all the time. This is considered to be an issue with the main chamber of the eye that is consisting of the vitreous humour. The phospenes or floaters of the eye can occur constantly when the vitreous humour degenerates from the main chamber. This generally happens with growth of the age.  When this degeneration happens, the shapes of cones and rods float constantly and make the vision troubled. This could be overcome by undergoing certain methodologies involving surgical procedures to correct the problem of the vitreous humour that is degenerated from the main chamber between the pupil and lens of the eye.

When this worsens, there arises a condition known as PVD, which is an acronym for posterior vitreous detachment which is caused by the vitreous humour peeling off the retina. This condition could be surgically corrected. There may be many conventional procedures available for doing so, but opthalmagists all over the world prefer the Lasik surgery which is also known as  laser surgery to correct  this  defect. This is mostly preferred because it is made by advanced and sophisticated modern equipments that emit laser beams which are used to correct the condition successfully.  The floaters of the eye thus can be got rid of by using this risk free surgical procedure which is very convenient.  Certain medical conditions don’t allow many people to go for conventional surgeries because of the health criteria; such people could prefer this risk free and safe surgical procedure to treat the eye floaters.

The surgical procedure of using the Lasik for this PVD is known as vitreolysis.  This is regarded to be the best solution for treating the eye floaters. This procedure has been acclaimed by surgeons all over the world as very lucid procedure involving very short sessions in a very low frequency.  Thus this convenience of this methodology makes it the most preferred way of getting rid of floaters of the eye.
