Visible eye floaters after looking at the sun for 3-4 seconds

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello, 2 days I was squinting while looking at the sun for 3-4 seconds and when I looked away at my computer screen my vision was a bit blurry and damaged I think. There's nothing blocking my view now except for 2-3 small shadowy eye floaters that follow everywhere I look under certain circumstances, in some environment they are not visible but sometimes they are visible. One of them that is the most visible is the one that is shaped as a black dot, is the reason for this that I looked at sun where the gel detached to build seperate floaters? I'm only 21 years old and don't want to live with these symptoms, before this I didn't think eye floaters was something noticeable if I didn't really try to see them but now it's like a black tiny shadow that follow everywhere I look. It's not those kind of eye floaters you see on Google images, but they are still there!

    Something similar happened to me after looking at the sun for a few seconds. I now have some floaters, I also get flashes of light and blue field entopic phenomenon.

      When did this happen to you? Have you seen any improvement? Are there any safe treatments to remove the eye floaters?

      About 10 months ago. Floaters and things have increased. The treatment is way too risky as far as surgery goes. You can get a laser treatment but that is risky as well and may not work
