My wife has what is called a “floater” on her eye. She has been told there’s nothing that can be done, that it’s normal and she’ll eventually get used to it. Of course, it could also lead to blindness.

Medicare did cover a doctor looking at her eye and telling her the above.

Even post cataract surgery I get floaters as does my husband. A few blinks and they go away usually. Noting has been said about it other than it is a pesky issue.

I did note that they began pre cataract development. Mine developed earlier than most. The fact the first one developed in the center of the field of vision is rare. Second one developed at a normal pace and was not removed until a decade later, better technology and of course a much better surgeon, the tops in the field in Memphis. Medicare/Tricare Life did cover that totally.
