Just under 5 years ago I developed a large floater in my left eye. It still perminantly blocks my vision (as in makes it blurry). Within a month I had developed smaller ones in my right eye. To this day these ones float around more, so one minute things are blurry and the next minute things are clear. I put these floaters down to the computer screen as I was only 37 at the time and there is no history of them in my family. Anyway, things have gradually got worse (very slowly) but I am now only 42! I want to know how bad these can/will get. I realise it's the gell in your eye coming away, but is is possible for all the gell to come away and what happens if this happens? The gell must be there for a reason - what is this reason? Is it to give shape to the eye? If it all falls away then what happens to the eye? Thanks for any help.
