From my description, my doctor thinks I’m
right. “But to be sure, you might want
to go to the emergency room,” he says. My
immediate two thoughts are time and money:
it’ll cost $200 and I’ll be waiting forever, watching people with far
more serious reasons to be there. My ophthalmologist
advises me not to do any heavy exercising (which of course won’t be much of a sacrifice),
and to see him on Monday.
I go to the play (excellent), cancel plans with
Zelia for the night, have sushi for dinner and google floaters.
As we grow older, it is more common to
experience floaters as the vitreous gel changes with age, gradually pulling
away from the inside surface of the eye.
Damn. I
was hoping it wasn’t age-related.
