[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427313, member: 1233"] Wow. I had no idea that some of you had this also. my mom has had problems with the separation as well as some other, far more serious retinal problems. Glaucoma runs in the family on her side very very much. I remember my first floater, or at least the day I realized it was not normal to have black dots that move as you move your eyes. I was four and was outlining the priest at Mass because I was exceedingly bored. We had missed the earlier Mass and ended up at the interminable Latin one held monthly at our church. My mom smacked me lightly on the hand to get my attention because I was moving my head oddly and attracting attention. We talked after mass and I ahd an eye exam about two weeks later. my first. Now I have a bunch, dots and squiggles. This is why I learned to run a bare hand over the counter or dish I was washing - otherwise I could scrub forever trying to get "crud" off that was only in my eye. Be sure you go see the eye doctor with the MD, and a GOOD one. Not just the optometrist regardless of if the optometrist can do surgery in your state or not. I don't know if it has changed here, but I know a few years ago there were optometrists doing laser eye surgery on people and other types of eye surgery - without having been to medical school. I don't know why it was/is allowed but it seems crazy to me. Esp with the fam history of eye problems and having an uncle who had a doctor do the wrong surgery on his good eye - NOT his doctor. His doctor cancelled the surgery or thought he had. doctor's son, a real jerk and idiot and dangerous fool, mixed up my uncle and another guy (great uncle of a friend of mine) and did their surgeries on the other one. My friend's uncle died because he had a severe infection that the surgery was to remove. My uncle just was blind in one eye. STurned out the father had no clue it had happened but it bankrupted his practice. The son wasn't even licensed in the state and the lawsuits were HUGE. It has made me pay real attention to who I let examine our eyes, Know what I mean?? Anyway, I hope the problem goes away soon. I would ask for a second opinion just to be very sure - and a thrid if the two docs do not agree. [/QUOTE]
