Do You Have Annoying Floaters?☻☻

Well I would just like to know how many webmasters suffer from eye floaters? They are terribly annoying and for someone like me that spends most of the day staring at a screen makes them worse.

Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's vitreous humour, which is normally transparent.



How many people have them is what I would like to know?

 

I have loads of them which is very annoying, its due to my chronic illness most likely parasites such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and other protozoa.

 

How old are you?

I think everyone has them but the mind learns to ignore them

I believe you can have laser but not sure

 

A new wide flat screen lcd monitor greatly improved the situation for me.

Hmmmmmm? I wonder if that is a medical expense?

 

I have one in my right eye, it is annoying sometimes. I think I read somewhere that they are comprised of something that is leftover from birth.

 

I'm 65 and rarely have floaters. I have bad vision otherwise, but floaters aren't a problem.

 

Hehe I always thought they were just me!

 

Are you for real? Who told you that? Where the heck do they get "clean jelly" from? That would have to be a weird feeling having your eyeball deflated while they get ready to put more jelly in...

 

Yup, I have them too. They are a pain in the rear when I drive. Lol you'd think as much time as I spend watching a computer screen every day, they'd bother me then too, but they don't.

I find they irriate me when I'm driving on a sunny or bright day the most.

 

I have this problem but not that much . You must keep some difference maintained between you and your eyes . Doctor advised me and Now I have wireless keyboard and mouse which helps to make some difference .

 

ive had them since i can remember. i remember being told by optician its not usual to ge tthem until old age.

mine all look the same, theyre a small circle with a dot in the middle... (look at the top of a rolo, its just like the thing on there) and theyre slear yeah. i get them most when i look at a blue sky... get tons then and i try following them, but when i move my eyes they move with them lol
(dog chasing tail syndrome lol)

 

I've got them too (both eyes) and find them incredibly annoying. I usually don't notice them when I'm on a computer though. Usually they bother me when I'm outside. I've heard there isn't too much you can do about them.

 

I get them sometimes.

 

I don't know who told him that, but an ophthalmologist told me that. And a couple of medical students, an optician and one or two other people who know about such procedures. It's actually rather a common operation, these days widely done under local anaesthetic.

It's manufactured for the purpose, by people who make surgical supplies, of course.

The operation itself is called "vitrectomy", you can probably find it on Wikipedia if you want to know a little more about it.

 

Do you have alot then? Did you get this done?

 

Im 21 going on 22.

Sorry but i have so many that i cant ignore them, at first i was wondering if my retina had detached as i used to box.

 

Yes I have quite a few lately im the same age and they are annoying and only let to get worse

 

No, not at all: I study "history of medicine" a bit, and know quite a few medical people; that's all.
