**Roger T. Bannon** · 02-24-21, 09:51 AM

I've always had them.

**konck** · 02-24-21, 12:14 PM

Lots of funny facts about them read up

**Auto Donk** · 02-24-21, 12:50 PM

note to those offended by La Donk's takes: DO NOT READ ANY FUTHER!!!!!

The only time I've had such floaters involved bedroom antics.... once, I came forcefully doggystyle and leaned back in relief of having finally gotten an X-related "slow load" out (it takes forever to come on that shit, and when you finally do, it's like five or six O's at once due to all the times you "got there" but didn't physically unload), and fell off the end of the bed and banged my head on some stereo cabinet the ho had at the end of her bed, and the other time I launched a load and for some reason stood up on this babe's bed, and her ceiling fan clipped me in the head, causing floaters for a few minutes.....

I've had theses for many years. They do come and go..Eye doc said nothing to worry about.

**beavis13** · 03-01-21, 06:05 PM

Yea I have them, no idea how long. Never noticed em till a friend mentioned he had them and now I see em all the time.

**Kermit** · 03-01-21, 08:17 PM

I never noticed that I had one until I was sitting in the window seat on a flight to Vegas back in 2016.

Eh, nothing to worry about unless you see flashes of light with them.

If that's the case, go to eye doctor ASAP.

**flyingillini** · 03-07-21, 03:56 AM

I just started seeing them and went to two different eye doctors here in Vietnam. I had complete eye exams and they said it is nothing to worry about. They are annoying as hell.... one doctor said my brain will get used to them and they will eventually go away from me seeing them but in reality they never go away....

**capitalist pig** · 03-07-21, 07:04 AM

I got one out of the blue years ago driving from GA to FL, it was like not there then there. Had it for years then I noticed it was gone, so in my experience they do go away gl

**slewfan** · 03-07-21, 03:53 PM

Sometimes using eye was helps allot with the dust or whatever.. Sometimes in the shower, I will put my hand under my eyes, open the lids and wash out my eyes this way... Use drops afterward or later on for moisture..

**flyingillini** · 05-06-21, 03:39 AM

Anyone else? This is so screwed up. I had a detached retina due to them. I have a ton of them now.

i get them now if i look at my computer a lot all day intently, like reading work related material and such. i use eye lubricating drops. definitely helps a lot.

**lakerboy** · 05-06-21, 10:22 AM

I like following it around

**Tanko** · 05-06-21, 10:44 AM

Damn....

I never had them until you mentioned it. Now I can't stop seeing them.

**inter1097** · 05-06-21, 10:46 AM

I thought everyone had those until recently

**Foxx** · 05-06-21, 10:50 AM

Never had them fortunately. Getting old sucks.

systane really good. works for my dad.

**flyingillini** · 05-24-21, 08:55 AM

Eye drops to not work for floaters. There is only one option it is a Vitrectomy, which is dangerous, they also do lasers but reports say they come back.

**pologq** · 05-24-21, 11:25 AM

do you have cataracts?

**Roger T. Bannon** · 05-24-21, 11:54 AM

When I was working tons of hours looking at a computer, they got worse than normal so I put them down as a symptom when I went to the optometrist. He did not make any mention of them. The assistant said: "What about the eye floaters." He just ignored her.

**TheGoldenGoose** · 05-25-21, 07:01 AM

Eye strain from computers can be noticeably reduced by equipping your computer screen with a blue ray filter. Also, it helps avoid eye strain to be looking at the computer screen from the correct angle. Looking slightly downward and with the screen tilted slightly upwards helps.

I want to give this guy a shot. it is only $1,750 an eye. I would pay 100k an eye, I am so depressed. I see them 24/7, it is like someone sneezed in my eyes.

Floaters are not screen related. I have them regardless if I am on the computer.

No, I don't , I have been going every two weeks to get checked. I had my retina detach from the floaters, I had emergency surgery. They are worried about my other eye now. My eyes are healthy otherwise, I just have a ton of floaters.

I have spent countless hours researching them. I am a member in all the eye floater groups on facebook. It is amazing that 90% of optometrists just tell you to deal with them and nothing they can do. That is pretty irresponsible in my opinion because your quality of life changes. The only true way to get rid of them is a Victrectomy which is an invasive procedure. I am reading a ton of success stories about them in these groups as well as on Reddit. The only thing is , its dangerous but many people do it. I am in Vietnam and they won't even entertain the idea of that surgery, they just say many people have them and to deal with it, my doctor in California told me the same thing. So basically you have to go to special doctors that deal with floaters... I would not want to get the surgery done here anyway. I need to do something it is so bad.

do they ever move so they are not in the way of vision?

a co-worker of mine at my last job had them. she was told to just deal with them and surgery would not be worth it. hers were bad when golfing and reading anything.

They fly around constantly in and out of my vision. It’s like there are flies in your eyes.
