Already tried that. Only works temporarily.

floaters exist in the vitreous and theoretically, requires either a large needle into the eye or eye surgery to be removed.
b/c those options are rather drastic, we don't do it.
so... What I tell people is: learn to enjoy your floaters.

Ugh. That's what I was afraid of. They are sure annoying. Thanks for the info.

Is it normal for base curves to change? She told me the measurement for my left eye stayed the same, but I just bought the new contacts with the prescription she gave me and the base curve is different from what I used to have. I used to have 8.7 on my left eye, but the new one is 8.3. I just put the new contacts in and I can see pretty clear with my right eye, but the left eye doesn't feel right. Could this be because the base curve isn't right?

Thanks for all the help.

I still have 4 unopened contact lenses for my left eye of the 8.7 base curve. I just put one in and the eye feels much more comfortable now, but the vision is obviously not as strong as my right eye with the new prescription.
