I have had these eye floaters last August. Sadly, though, I still have them until now. How can it be cured? Is it a sickness? Doctors keep telling me to just get used to it. But maybe they really don't understand the psychological damage it does for me... and for others who have them as well.

Here in this site, there are a lot of people who have floaters that have very serious complaints... It's because their floaters are very severe already. I fear someday mine would be like those too. It appeared when I lifted weights.. does it really contribute to floaters?

There is not cure for eye floaters. It is cause by particles floating around in the liquid part of your eye. You will eventually get used to them. You may after some time, see them now and again, but mostly you really get used to them and they do not bother you anymore. I have several, and unless I really focus on seeing them, I do not.

As someone whose eyes are chock full of them and other debris, I can wholeheartedly say "I wish!" but the fact of the matter is, your eye is a closed system. There is no where for them to go, and what you are looking at are cells in the gel that fills your eye. If you haven't seen a ophthalmologist yet to determine what might have caused the issue (uveitis, retinal or vitreol detachment, etc) it would be a good idea. These things tend to come in pairs I'm told. (And sure enough, I had one happen 8 months after the other...)

Your doctors are right - you're stuck with your floaters. It's very common for people to develop these floaters as they age. It's caused by an age-related breakdown of the vitreous (the gel) inside the back of the eye.

You can't cure them... they are there for life. It's part of the breakdown of the gel stuff in the back of the eye.
Everyone has 'em eventually, so sorry.. you just have to get used to them.

They are normal and all people have them at times. Ignore them and they will go away.
