I have tons of floaters and flashes due to multiple retinal detachments. I had to have surgery where a buckle was placed around my left eye as the retina was so severely detached, and had to have 3 laser surgeries on my right eye.
This did increase the floaters & flashes. My eye doctor says it's to risky to do anything about the floaters and I just have to live with them. Yes, they're damn distracting, I have to look around them & at them, but I'd rather have them than be blind, which I surely would have been if my retina surgeon wasn't so excellent.
Believe me, the flashes are worse than the floaters as it's like fireworks everytime someone turns out the light.
