Floaters

I notice mine when I'm reaaaaalllly tired

^^^ (although I only have to be fairly tired)

Mrs. Redd just had one looked at today but apparently it was nothing serious, as you seem to indicate.

sometimes I see floaters when I eat a lot of kale or other similarly fibrous vegetables

i get the protozoa shaped ones

I feel like I have this when I get stuff on my contact lenses but I don't think I've ever actually had them. Of course now I'm gonna start checking for the immediately and will probably notice 10 within the half hour.

The ones in my right eye evidently wanted some company, so now I've got them in the left eye too. These are somewhat different--instead of the hanging-string effect (which I eventually got used to and never thought about anymore), it's more like a sudden flicker. I was worried that I was seeing flashes of light--more serious--but I went back to the eye doctor, and she says there's no pulling away from the retina that she can detect.

I am wondering if, before it ever gets to that stage, I should go and have preemptive laser surgery, which is supposed to be fairly mild. I dread to think I'll be driving along one day on the highway, and suddenly the one eye goes dark.

I have them and have for years and unless someone points them out to me, I barely even notice them anymore.

that's scary with the flickers. good that there's no sign of detachment - might have been just a temporary anomaly.

Thanks. Freaked me out a bit because of the difference from what I was used to, but I assume the optometrist would have taken action immediately if necessary.

Hate these shitters

What’s to hate?
