They can't see them because they are a special kind of fibrous floaters that occur in young patients and are not detectable on OCT/Fundus imaging because they are microscopic and exist extremely close to the retina in the pre-macular bursa area, but they can be visualized using Quantitative...

I understand this... my point remains that it does not apply to me. For the tinnitus? Yes, this applies completely and 99% of the time I do not hear the ringing because I choose not to focus on it. As I'm typing this sentence right now, there is a long wormy cobweb-like structure with black...

Yet those same specialists claimed to not be able to see my floaters at all and couldn't confirm that I even had them. Because I went from completely clear and pristine vision one day, working comfortably, enjoying my life and looking forward to the future, to dozens and dozens of swirling...

Hello, I’m new here as well as a new student pilot and I’ve been really struggling lately… I’m 26M and have been a computer programmer for almost 5 years now, and recently I decided I couldn’t sit on a computer inside for the rest of my life and re-realized my passion for aviation, the sky, and...
