Problem has affected one eye about one year the other eye a couple of days. Does not seem to go away such as a floter. Visits to eye doctor has not resolved the problem. Help getting worse.

Answer:

Get another dilated eye examination from a different eye doctor ASAP. You have a right to expect an explanation for your symptoms, and apparently your previous eye doctor could not or would not provide that. Possible causes of your symptoms include retinal hemorrhage, retinal detachment, or vitreous detachment.
