### Patient: Doctor, I have been experiencing floaters and flashes of light in my vision. What could be wrong?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, you may be experiencing vitreous degeneration. We will need to perform an ophthalmic examination and evaluation (eye exam), as well as other diagnostic procedures on your eyes to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment may include repair of any retinal tears or detachments, along with other intraocular therapeutic procedures. We may also need to perform lens and cataract procedures, or other therapeutic procedures on your eyelids, conjunctiva, or cornea if necessary.
