Thank you. I was diagnosed with IIHWOP based on MRI and lumbar puncture. But Diamox didn’t help and I was getting these bilateral floaters when I closed my eyes. Two months later I was diagnosed with epilepsy and the floaters went away after I started Keppra. Now I understand why.
Technically, it can be possible to see vitreous floaters in your field of view with your eyes closed in certain circumstances, such as if I'm lying down on a beach in Florida and the sun is shining overhead. This will allow enough light to seep through the thin layers of my eyelids so that I can still see floaters casting a shadow on my retina. My optometrist was able to see the bilateral floaters inside my eyes using a special lens, so I know they are not cortical. Thankfully, a lot of them seem to have sunk over time or something, as I don't see as many floaters dashing across my field of view as I move my eyes as I used to. They used to be very bothersome.
literally after 5 years - some words that make me feel like i am not alone.. u have "literally" constant lightnings within and around your center too?? Tinnitus as well? could u tell me what age u are? i came to the conclusion of fixing this whole thing by the need of selfstudy - hope to help future sufferer

Keep up the good work
Wow
Thank you for such a brief but to the point explanation
Good to know, thank you for explaining it so well
Hello Dr. It is very important for me to talk to you, how do I do that
I don’t really think that Dr. Lee responds to comments-He’s probably not even reading them???
I do believe that he practices in Texas?
Please treatment
