Hey anyone get their eyes done in Korea experience these greyish-black floaters in their vision. Everyone is harping about these on the forums. . . I got one noticeable one on my right eye which has been bothering my now for the past month.

Basically trying to figure out if anyone has had these and if they've gone away or gotten worse with time? From what I read online I got the impression a lot of people's got worse after the surgery.

I had ICL and I notice occasional floaters. (among other things that you won't have due to having LASIK) I was told if there are numerous ones or one that will not go away to contact my doctor. But I believe that post op you could/will experience more. Again, I had ICL and not LASIK but both are corrective procedures. Maybe contact your surgeon? Also, if you notice like bursts of light or a "curtain" coming down in your vision DEF call your doctor. Hope you get it solved soon!

I've never had eye surgery and I noticed a couple of specks about a year ago. My doctor told me that these floaters are common and that eventually they fade. I think it has something to do with growing older. I'm 46 and it's annoying.

I'm 25 and I've had several floaters since the age of 18 or so...as far back as I can remember.

I would consult a doctor if you really are concerned. Or even the slightest bit better, a forum that is for people whom have had eye surgery. I wouldn't have a lot of faith asking medical related questions here.

I'm 29 and had floaters for as long as I can remember. Sometimes they go away for a while then come back with a vengeance. Granted it can be annoying but you just have to live with it.
