I got approved for floater surgery

I got approved for eye floater surgery today after 4+ doctors telling me that “I’ll get used to them.” I just can’t.

I met with David G. Miller at Cleveland Retina Associates. I decided to visit him because he was one of the doctors who conducted this floater study: https://iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2744965

He saw my floaters and approved me right away. Made it seem like this is a routine surgery they do all the time, that it’s not a big deal. He doesn’t do air bubble and uses the smallest incisions possible. He was actually impressed with how much I knew already…like yeah bro I’ve spent the last 2 years obsessing over this 😆

I know surgery is hotly debated here. But my floaters overstimulate me so much. I can’t wait for PulseMedica. I want to go outside again and not worry about my vision. It’s the right decision for me. Am I nervous as hell? Absolutely. But Dr. Miller’s confidence is making me feel better.

I hope we all get out of this nightmare soon.
