Eye Floaters

As you aged the more things comes out of your health. I started getting floaters in my eyes when I started my first pregnancy from my son. I saw floaters in my eyes that looks like shadow coming from your eye that floats just outside as you keep staring at it. The line sometimes moves around or just floats.

I never knew what the cause of it was. I thought during my pregnancy is because I wasn't eating on time.

After I gave birth the floaters went away. As years past and I gave birth to my second son the floaters had appeared again.

I went to see an ophthalmologist. I was told I had glaucoma. I was scared when I heard about it. 

Glaucoma Eye:

·       It is an eye disease that can cause you to become permanent blind by damaging your optic nerve.

I went to another ophthalmologist for a second opinion. I was so worried how I can cope being blind.

My mind kept drifting and thinking the worse could happen.

I was visiting the Philippines and brought a copy of my x-ray from my previous doctor. I was told by my cousin who is a ophthalmologist that I had no glaucoma. I was so happy to hear the great news.

 I had informed my brother in-law who works on this field. He had given me eye drops called, "Moxifoxacin Dexamethasone phoshate" eye drop.

It had slowly went away.
