I've always noticed tiny floater since I was a kid - but I really had to concentrate to see them. About a year ago I started to notice real floaters in both eyes when staring at my computer monitor. I let it go for about a month until it got to the point they were getting in my line of sight and preventing me from seeing clearly. I first checked the internet and everything I read said they are normal and I should only worry if I see flashes. Well about a week later I started seeing flashes in the corners of my eyes when I would quickly move my eyes. My eyes also felt a little irritated. I have 20/20 vision and had not been to a eye doctor in at least 15 years (I'm 28). My first opthmologist (sp?) briefly looked at my eyes, told me I have Uveitis, told me to take Prednisone for two weeks and sent me home. I didn't care for how quick (15 mins) he was to diagnose me and put me on a steriod. I found another Dr.. She was much better and I must have seen her about 5 or 6 times. She had me do blood work, a brain MRI, chest x-rays and plenty of eye tests. All negative thank God. She confirmed I that I do have Uveitis and that she doesn't know the cause. Apparently they don't find the cause in 50% of the patients. She finally told me to go see her boss - another opthomologist. He did some crazy test where they shot this liquid in me to color my blood so they could get good pictures of my eyes. After examining the pictures he told me that I have little blood vessels growing on my optical nerves and that the blood vessels were leaking blood. He has no idea why this is happening but he did mention something about my eyes not getting enough oxygen. So he put my on Prednisone again. Thats where I am now. I'm going back to see him soon but I'm ready to try alternative medicines. I went out tonight and bought all the parts to build a Helda zapper. Once I get that together I'll zap for a couple of weeks, do a kidney flush and then some liver flushes. I'm also going to try some miso, taro root, and maybe the injuv stuff I just read about. I'm ready to try anything before I give in to taking Prednisone for the rest of my life. Just thought I'd share and see if anyone else has this or a similar problem.
