Floaters are a common symptom for many people and can increase in number over time. Floaters are cause by a degeneration and shrinking of the jelly in the back of the eye called the "vitreous." They are more common in people who are near-sighted as well as those over 50 years of age. Seeing them in bright light yet not in dim is very common and "textbook." Thankfully, most of the time the symptoms decrease over time. For those that don't, or if there are a number of new floaters suddenly, seeing an ophthalmologist is recommended.

That is a great question. There are two important things to consider. The first is that we want your eyes to be stable before proceeding. Most people stabilize between the ages of 18 and 20, so you are most likely stable at the age of 24. The second thing is to determine if you are a candidate. A comprehensive exam by a doctor which includes a number of scans of your eye will be the only way to know for sure. There have been a number of advances in laser vision correction making it safer and more effective than ever before. Even if you are not a candidate for laser vision correction, there are many times other options as well.
