Response from Dr. Feinberg
 CMV retinitis or vitritis is commonly associated with floaters, but floaters do not occur exclusively with these conditions. They can also occur with aging, and can appear in people who are middle-aged. If your eye doctor says your exam is OK, then relax. Thanks for the holiday greeting, and best wishes to you! |
