Topic: Eye floaters...

That family guy eye floater vid is hilarious!, The voice of the eye floater cracks me up!

Describe yours.

I've got the stereotypical lines and webs, but I've had like misty ones for about 2 years now, like a large thin one every now and again.

Mad s*** like, got my eyes tested when I was worried but turns out my eyes are spot on, just I've got mental s*** floating in them


First noticed mine Newcastle vs Mansfield town in 2006, thought they were hairs in my eye.

I get weird s*** in my eyes at times but that's normally after leaving my contacts in wayy too long.

Don't know if it's the same thing Rocker but I've had what I call floaters for years and years. Generally I only see them when I'm staring out the window at the sky and the way I've explained it to myself is that the eye loses focus on the distance and somehow manages to focus on minute particles literally floating in the liquid layer around the eyeball. If you try to look directly at them they spin out of sight, blink and they're back.

They certainly don't worry me.

I have a few bits n bobs floating about from previous operations.  I have little bubbles, a black thing that whizzes past, which I sometimes think is a bloody fly.

Also have a couple of random bits pop into view from time to time.

[neesy111]

I get them quite often.

[Jill]

Always had a few since being a kid which weren't too noticeable, but about 3 years ago I woke up one day and a new huge one had appeared. Like a little cluster thing right in the middle of my vision but with a bit trailing off as well. For the first few days I found myself constantly trying to catch a glimpse. Used to it now, but it was dead annoying at first having a black blob throwing itself across my eyes.

Ive got very very feint dark floaters around my periphery. This threads got me thinking i have f***ing cateracts now.

[je85]

I have one that crops up now and then confused me a few times when using a microscope.

Wouldn't worry, I have the same cloudy thin ones and the optician said my eyes were cushty.

Talked to my optician about these and there isn't a cure

Also they tend to be worse in short sighted people (me), and tend to get worse as you age

I'm short sighted as well.

It's ok Neesy I'm sure they'll think of a way to get this s*** sorted eventually. Although my confidence in science has been rocked, as I was sure they would find a cure for male pattern baldness before it started effecting my as well

[Skirge]

Put my self forward for these trials, hope I get a go, will be 10 years before it used as a public treatment.
