Just curious (man I must be bored!).. Anyone have "floaters" in your eyes? Those stringy little splotches that float across your field of vision. Right annoying bloody blokes they are and I can't find any info on how to get rid of 'em.

Most of the information I've seen on this topic says "see your doctor immediately".

Hmmm. Since I've had them since my teen years I don't see any reason to be alarmed. They're not getting worse it's just that sometimes you tend to focus on them more - thus the annoying part. Actually they're kind of like a built in kaliedascope.

Yeah, actually they are kinda neat, and are excellent time-killers by trying to catch up and play games with them and see if I can focus on them. They almost look like germs. Some are squiggly, some have dots.....Maybe I should start naming them! I have that bright white line thingy going on in my right eye sometimes though, have since I was a kid, and that is a weird thing to see in my eye, guess I should have it checked someday...

I have a floater and mostly see it in bright sunlight when I'm not focusing on anything. I asked my eye doctor because I'm a bit of a hypocondriac and she said that the floater is formed within your pupil as you are growing inside the womb. It's just a flaw and many people have them, nothing can be done yet to fix so live with it. Then again, you may want to get your own professional opinion.

I see....So people can have a Floater, while they themselves are a Floater in the Womb....Hmmmmm

I recall seeing floaters in my eyes since I was 7, and they seem to have increased over age. I can also see the blood cells moving through the capiliaries inside my eyes. Sometimes, if I am really attuned to it, I can easily notice the movement of the little blood cells zipping by is in time to my heartbeat....

Yeah I've tried that a few times... word of advice though... if you happen to get bored whilst driving, dont play that game then!!
Imagine trying to explain it to a policeman after an accident...."No officer, I'm not drunk. I was merely trying to focus on a floater....." They'd have you locked up and on Prozac before you took your next breath!!!
