yep i do good to know what they are i figured they were part of the eye but i never knew actually what they were until now thanks

Yep, kind of interesting. I even noticed how they move around, so it's nice to know why. =3

yah makes me more comfortable with it

This happens to me pretty much whenever I look at a bright window or just go outside on a sunny day. Kinda annoying, honestly.

That was pretty good. =P

Heh, looking at my monitor now, I could see a floater. :P

Haha, I see. =P

That's not good to hear.

Watching the video they are not that bad.

I figured that when I started seeing stars dart around my vision that it had to do with vessels having some blockage towards my vision, but I didn't know much concrete in it.

I've been dealing with a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in my left eye since early April this year.

started out as bright, brief arc-shaped flashes of light on the outer periphery of the eye's visual field every time the eye jumped to a new focus.

PVD is normal. usually occurring in a person's 60s or later -- I got about a 15-year head start!
most folks gain a few extra floaters during the process of detachment, but that's all.

about two weeks into the process, I woke up one morning to a huge increase in the number of dark floaters, and an area of visual distortion that hadn't existed before.

turned out I was one of the lucky 1-in-7 who get a retinal tear as the vitreous pulls away -- sometimes it clings too tightly, and rips the delicate retinal tissue.

prompt medical attention and laser surgery corrected the problem with the retina, but the vitreous detatchment is still ongoing.

a few days later, I woke up to just one more new floater -- but it was an enormous one, right in the center of vision. it's called a Weiss ring.

I'm just glad mine's mostly transparent. the edges aren't, though, so I'm walking (and driving) around with a target reticle of sorts in my left eye now. :D

That's fascinating Ö__Ö I learned so much new things!
Good that you still see well..!

thank you! it has been a little scary, a lot annoying, and -- yes, fascinating.

I had no idea an eye could even do this, before April 6! :D

Hopefully that's all they do for now..!

Heg, I recall learning about them last year. They used to show up on rare occassions, but it hasn't been the case lately for myself.

My eyes are full of floaters. I can't get away from them in any way.

I think the main reason I got them is physical trauma. Hit my head real hard once etc.. The worst bump also caused me to see a blue infinity-shape "rainbow" when looking at a dim but concentrated light in the darkness.

Luckily I only have the one that I can see.

I really do appreciate you sharing this. I had thought about these for a while, but always assumed it could be something just happening to me

I found the video fascinating so I wanted to share. =3
