I think there's nothing wrong with asking for any kind of advice, as long as there's an understanding that it's not professional advice that we are giving. A lot of people can provide there own personal experience and provide insight into things that may be beneficial. I don't really think anyone is going to get brain surgery because some member named "stinkynuts" on an escort review board told him to. At least I hope not.

Don’t fuck around, eye sight is very important! Spend the money go see an optometrists around $100 I think they will refer you to medical doctor if needed like an eye specialist or eye surgeon like an ophthalmologist . Also if you in a rush go to emergency dept in the hospitals or go to manulife building on bay & bloor they have eye specialists if you have money and don’t want to wait.

Saw another video from this same doctor and he states that 95% of floaters will naturally improve on their own through a process called neuro adaptation where the brain gets use to them and they become unnoticeable.
Quack quack quack. This is one where you can't safely self diagnose. A professional needs to check you out. Tears in the retina can lead to retinal detachment where the retinal layer (or a significant part of it) detaches from the inside of the eyeball. Seriously bad news...Does an optometrist quality as a professional?
Interesting, how do you know this? By the way, can someone get diabetes later in adult life?
It is well-known by doctors that diabetes can cause retina detachment. Ask your doctor to check your blood sugar levels.
They can get Type 2 but not Type 1. Get your blood tested. Anything below 6.5 (but not too low) is good
Yes you can get diabetes later in life, usually Type 2 (formerly called adult-onset diabetes). Floaters can be common in diabetics because of poor, long-term control of blood sugars that leads to "bleeding in the eyes", that's the very oversimplified version.
LTO_3
As you get older, a sedentary lifestyle, coupled with being overweight is an excellent recipe for type 2 diabetes.
I had a check up about 9 months ago with blood tests. I don't know the specifics of what a blood test looks for during a doctor's check up but I'm presuming diabetes would be part of it.
