Eye floaters... WTF?~!~..... See below...   ~ Physical strength is measured by what we carry. Inner strength is measured by what we can bear. ~ |

Imagine this... On a Tuesday afternoon, before a cross country driving trip, something crazy happens to your eyes... All of a sudden lines, spots, blotches, are in your vision! No rhyme or reason they are not there 1 second, then there the next... This is happening to me right now... It is beyond crazy what I am going to see out of my eyes right now. As sometimes it is better than other times... I do plan on seeing a Dr when I return to Tucson. But still have 500 miles to drive today... Don't take anything for granted!! It could be gone in a split second.... ~ Physical strength is measured by what we carry. Inner strength is measured by what we can bear. ~

Never delay with eyes. I ignored a black area in one eye and was only just in time for surgery to save the sight as the retina detached. Be over-cautious.

High blood pressure or high blood sugars can cause these floaters as well.

Floater are pretty common... but by all means see your Ophthalmologist ASAP!

I've had them for years, usually worse in the morning due to having been laid down for hours. They disappear an hour or so after I rise, presumably falling to the bottom of my eyes and no longer between the pupil and retina. Mine are like squiggly grey shadows in my vision. From what I'm told, they are harmless but annoying. By all means get them checked, an optometrist is good enough, no need to go to the expense of an ophthalmologist. The optometrist will let you know if you need to seek out a specialist, plus check your macula and glaucoma. Good luck.

Detached retinas are no joke. You can be permanently blind if you don't have it fixed in time.

I have had them all my life. I started taking eye focussed vitamins and they are rare now, for several years, actually. But do get your eyes checked, soon.

Experienced this when I was young. I thought I was seeing invisible beings.

I had them a few years back, seemed to be related to being over tired. However one of your previous replys mentions high blood pressure, so as I have been on blood pressure meds for a few years. Maybe my problem was related to blood pressure. I know you say you don't have high blood pressure, but things can change. After all I didn't have high blood pressure, err, until I did! Hopefully thats not the case. Anyway good luck with getting the promlem checked out.

pac I too echo , please see to them quickly and I hope there is NOT a serious cause... A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny
