After the age of 40, my eyesight has deteriorated, I have to use glasses to read. I noticed that my right eye is weaker. For some time now I have been seeing wandering spiders and black points in my field of vision, which bothers me a lot.
After the age of 40, your eyesight naturally deteriorates. Most of them require the use of reading glasses. If, in addition, there are "spiders", black points in the field of view, then we can probably deal with the so-called floaters in the vitreous. You need to examine your eyes more closely in order to choose glasses (perhaps you should use not only reading glasses, but also for distance?). Additional tests may also be needed to assess the he alth of the vitreous body.
