Eye Floaters....

Anyone else have them at the minute ?

Had them about a year now, but they got more frequent so decided to go to opticians today, nothing wrong with my eye no retinal detachments or anything.

So just gotta wait for them to float out of my sight.

Mine are like 2 circles mainly in my right eye only, the odd time a wavy line passes with them.

So what are yours like how long you had them and do they annoy you ?

I've never had them and the only place I ever heard of them was family guy.

I got quite a few of them. They're kind of annoying, but I don't notice them all that often.

Peter - "I see you their mr eye floater.....hey hey where are you going, AHA I'll look over here"

Eye Floater - "Well I'll go over here!"

I get them sometimes, if you look close enough and concentrate you can see lots of tiny ripples on your eye surface which is just the fluid moving about.

Ye I never at first, but past 2 month instead of blank surfaces like wall or sky I just saw them all the time so went to get them checked.

I got these eye drops to widen my pupil, the effect lasted 4 hours, it was really sunny outside so my pupils did not get smaller as normal they just took in all this light I could not see a thing, lol I walked like a mile with my eyes barely open.

I don't really have them. Can only see them when I look at a clear sky (which isn't v.often in England!)tofu-lion91

I only get them when i wake up, then i just rub my eyes and they're gone lol.

:lol: I have had that happen once or twice before (that I noticed) and tried to follow it with my eye (if that makes sense) but it got away.

I have them but I totally forgot about them...until now. THANK YOU!! :evil:

i get them from time to time. reminds me of this

"Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid

I see you there,

Lurking on the periphery of my vision

But when I try to look at you,

You scurry away!

Are you shy, squiggly line?

Why only when I ignore you

Do you return to the center of my eye?

Oh, squiggly line,

It's all right

You are forgiven!":lol:

I have them too, to explain what they are

they are lose proteins floating in you iris

I have MANY, they suck.duxup

MANY ? I think you should see an optician, mine said to me if you get a shower load of them or larger ones then it could be retinal detachment, inflamitions or other serious eye damage.

I have 2 main ones, wow it must suck to have your eyes. It would be so annoying, have you thought of ripping them out ?

if I look up into the sky I can see them.

otherwise I don't notice them thankfully.

I have a couple of them. They only appear in very bright light and don't really cause any distraction or obstruction of vision. I'm pretty sure I've had them as long as I can remember. They don't bother me.

Can't say I've ever had any of these.

So THAT'S what they're called! I swear, I thought I was the only person who had them or something because no one could understand what I was talking about. Yes I have them, they're very fun to chase :lol:.

Do you people know what they are? Well your eyeball is filled jelly, and sometime this jelly tends to fold over itself creating what we know as "floaters." Those little dots floating around in the air are just tiny folds in the jelly, there is nothing wrong with your eye and they probably occur so frequently for you guys because you stare at the computer screen a lot.cpo335

WRONG !

Look I used to do welding, I mentioned this to my optician, he said that would not cause eye floaters, so if intense weldings flashes don't cause them I don't think a computer screen would. Also it's something like 98% of something in your eye is liquid and 2% is solid sometimes the solid breaks off like some sort of protein and also it's just dirt trapped in the gel like layer of your eye.

Why you seem it is necessary to explain this I did say I had been to an optician, as an expert in eyes didn't you think he had explained this, also you say their is nothing wrong with people who have these, did you not hear the part about retinal detatchments.

Please google or wiki the topic in question before making a somewhat false statement :D

I have them nearly daily.. I can't remember why it is we have them x.x

I have a bunch of them in my left eye.

They don't bother me too much.

Actually, when you are young you have a vein in your eye that helps your eyes grow and become larger, but when you are born, you don't need the vein any more so eventually the vein explodes and what you see are actually peices of vein "floating" around in your eye.

Can't say I've ever experienced them. Like is it something that you see on your eye or does it appear in front of you but one you try to look at it straight on it moves again? I wish I could get a picture or some animated video of what it appears like.

Have had one in my left eye for years. Isn't going anywhere I guess but then I don't notice it all the time.
