Floaters: A Novel

Product Information

Retinal tears can be successfully treated to prevent them from developing into a retinal detachment which can cause sight loss, but they do need to be treated promptly. Retinal tears from PVD are much rarer than PVD alone and only 10-15 per cent of people have a retinal tear following PVD. An even smaller number of these people go on to develop a retinal detachment. you have any sudden change in, or loss of, vision – or if a dark shadow or curtain appears in your vision. Vintage Espada―essential, topical, political, irrepressible; in his poems, mercy acquires muscle and close attention confers value―reminding us that protest and praise rise from the same source. Such eloquence in comradeship, elegy and homage to those who lit the path, and, oh, a fresh bounty of love poems, written 'not in lust but in astonishment.'"- Eleanor Wilner A readable but completely forgettable novel. As a person who remembers well that America's cup (being a kiwi) it was interesting reading a novel set in San Diego at that time. Unfortunately it all felt a bit meaningless in the end the crime just fizzled out. The characters were somewhat memorable and relatable IE Fortney and Zorn but not ones I particularly cared about. Then there was the character of Boggs who was memorable but such a range of clichés.

In certain cases, floaters can be caused by much more serious conditions. One such condition is retinal detachment. As the vitreous shrinks due to aging, it can pull on the retina, causing it to detach.

San Diego has the reputation of being "America's Finest City," and it lives up to that reputation in m.any ways--sparkling bodies of water, wide beaches, abundant vegetation--but there is a seamier side to the city, as there is to most cities today. Behind the warm weather and glitter of new buildings lies a world of prostitutes and pimps, sailing fanatics and those with money to burn on the sport, and a not always sterling police force. This seamy side is the focus of this novel. Although I was drawn to the book by nostalgia for my years in San Diego, I closed the book with my impressions of the city definitely tainted. Floaters are very common and many people have them, even if they don’t have PVD. They’re floating clumps of cells that form in your vitreous. You can see them because they cast shadows on your retina when light comes into your eye. These floaters do not harm your eye. Floaters are small dark shapes that float across your vision. They can look like spots, threads, squiggly lines, or even little cobwebs. They tend to move across your field of vision as you move your eyes around. and they seem to disappear or be difficult to see when you try to look at them directly.

The symptoms of floaters are similar to serious conditions such as a detached retina which is sight-threatening.

If aqueous fluid fills the hole left by the tear, sight can also blur. A retinal tear or detachment requires immediate medical attention.Floaters usually don´t go away on their own, although many people report seeing them less frequently over time. This can happen due to the brain gradually learning to ignore the floaters.
