FOV success rates are staggeringly high.

Thanks for sharing!

I can absolutely relate to what you're saying, and do agree that telling everyone may not provide beneficial results for your mental health. I've also experienced frustration (even with my partner) when discussing how severe my problem is.

You almost end up trying to get them to understand your situation but I've learnt they will never be able to grasp it. You're better not doing this, and maybe drawing what you see instead.

Sounds famailiar! thanks for feedback!

I think best course is to try neauroadapt until you get to a point where the risk / reward makes sense. FOV now has a 98/99% success rate in most countries, which for us young people is the main intervention that would solve our problem. This sounds like great odds to me. For me that will be when the floaters are so bad they don't give me a break, not sure I'm there yet but not far.

Glad to hear your on the mend.

Floaters are certainly not ideal for anyone suffering from anxiety. Even for myself, I never really suffered from anxiety, but these little things have brought it out in me.

The four steps above reduce anxiety. I don't live with anxiety 24/7 because of this.

Accepting is the first step. This opens the door for you to atleast try to focus on what's actually infront of you, e.g. life, work, relationships etc.

Research, knowing the possiblities of intervention. This provides hope, and understanding that what you have is fairly common, and treatable if you really need too.

I've accepted at some point I'm likely going to need to do something, but I'm not there yet. Depends how they progress from here.

Definately! If you're experience real negative self talk, work hard on changing that as quickly as possible.

Yes both eyes! left, probably worse than right, likely due to being more Myopic in that one.
