I'm a little worried because I'm 25 and dealing with some health issues. I've been noticing more and more eye floaters this past month, but my ophthalmologist says my eyes are fine after doing an OCT. They suggested I take Vitreon sachets every day for 30 days. But if everything's supposed to be okay, why are my floaters getting worse every day? I don't see any flashes, just lots of floaters that look like black dots or wavy lines. Could something else be going on?

Its reassuring that your OCT report is normal, and increasing floaters without flashes often indicate age-related vitreous changes, which are common but harmless. Since you have high blood pressure, ensure it's well-controlled as it can affect eye health; continue Vitreon as prescribed and follow up if symptoms worsen.

I've been noticing something weird lately. Every morning when I wake up, everything I look at seems to have this orange tint to it. It usually goes away after a few minutes, but it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm 29, and I'm not sure if this is something serious or if there might be an underlying cause I should be aware of. Any insights into what might be happening, or suggestions on what I should do next?

How long do floaters in the eye last?

It usually takes about a month, but sometimes it can take up to six months. Floaters will gradually get smaller and less noticeable as the weeks and months go by, but usually they never disappear completely.

I've developed an Eye Chalazion on my right eye. During the first week, it was quite painful, but now it doesn't hurt anymore. Its still there though. Could you recommend a good medicine for this?
