While floaters can be a symptom of a serious eye disease, often floaters are benign. Floaters tend to be more common in nearsighted people. A dilated eye exam should help distinguish benign floaters from floaters arising in the setting of a serious eye disease. READ MORE
How does having diabetes affect your vision long-term?

It's important that patients with diabetes have regular dilated screening eye exams and seek care from a retinal surgeon once diabetic retinopathy develops, especially if it's progressive. READ MORE
