Sudden floater in left eye

Earlier this week, I was watching TV, as usual, and I noticed a grey blur in my vision. Dr. Google told me it was floaters, but it took two optometrist visits and a couple calls to 811 to accept that that's what it actually is.

A few months ago, I had near perfect vision and now I have this spot in my left eye that I can't see anymore. And the optometrist said it would happen to my right eye as well at some point.

I know things could be a lot worse in my life, but the fact that one of my eyes just doesn't work quite right anymore is very depressing. I was hoping for a solution, but the doctor quite literally told me to just live with it.

I'm not giving up, but this just sucks
