Question

 

 

Hi,

Recently after having my son, my eyes have started acting weird so i went to a doctor and she looked in my eyes and said everything was normal.

I just needed some glasses for not being able to see far away. but ever since having my son i sometimes see this quick tiny tiny flashes of a light, and sometimes it seems like a floater in the back of my eye or something comes into my view and will even block out the side of my vision for a few minutes and then eventually goes away. she said everything looked fine, but i'm starting to feel worried.

What should i do?

Thanks

 

Answer

Thanks for your Question

 

 

It is normal to have floaters after normal delivery. Since you went to an eye doctor and she examined you and everything is normal, so nothing you need to worry about. 

You should have regular followup with your eye doctor, for example every 9-12 month.
