Floaters and Flashes

[CANITORACING13B]

they suck i hate them so much.

[kenji41746]

how much degree of eye flashes is consider serious?



[testermanish]

@fiesty1111 Sounds like an ocular migraine. Generally harmless except the pain. Even though I'm certain this is what it is I'd have it checked out.

[JCBthaName]

this makes my skin crawl... i dont waana geow old haha....

[xxxsmitty]

I had a detached retina at 27 and didn't know it... I reluntantly went to the eye Dr one night after a friend convinced me that what I was seeing wasn't normal (wavy lines and grey curtain)... Good thing I did b/c I had emergency eye surgery the next morning (needed a buckle), and the Dr told me that I had less than 24 hours before my retina would have completely detached (past optic nerve) and I would have completely lost my right eye. Don't EVER under estimate ANYTHING with your eyes.

[Mathos1]

@xxxsmitty was your eye sight back to normal after the operation? and was it expensive?

[greensoldier230]

I just wish my eyes were normal again D:

[davlor86]

@greensoldier230 i'm pretty sure all of us have that wish, unfortunately it won't happen =s. Hopefully in a future we will have a cure for that.

[fiesty1111]

its like when i close my eyes tight and see stage olorful shapes, but accept its KINDA clear and hurts badd! (my other comment should help to explain also) plz plz help.

[fiesty1111]

omg im 12 and idk if i have flaoters but something is wrong with my eyes. since i was four i have had a stigmitsm (dnt know how to spell it sry) since i was 4, but anyways every now and then there would be like these wierd shapes that would be bright and they would stay in place but move at the same time. then after it would stop after about 10 or 20 mins it would leave me with a headache and i would feel nausious. this is the best i would explain it. no1 has even taken this seriously. help plz!

i often see a black bubble in my periferal vision what does this mean???

[TehONE117]

i have had the same floater for a while now so hopefully more dont appear

[erasmusso]

Why do they inject a gas bubble? Can't they make artificial vitreous in a lab and inject that? Also, they could remove the whole vitreous with the floaters and inject the new clean one, instead of waiting for the natural process which takes months or years... does anyone know if it's possible?

[OMGitsREAPER]

I have floaters and flashes so i went too the eye doctor and he said their normal.

[TSASIS12ify]

@OMGitsREAPER

its normal by the way how long have you been experiencing this mine is 8 months due to trauma

[OMGitsREAPER]

@TSASIS12ify Ever since I was about 12 lol.

[TSASIS12ify]

@OMGitsREAPER

12 yrs old so how old are you now?

and are still seeing flashes and floaters in your eyes im a bit curious

[OMGitsREAPER]

@TSASIS12ify Im 17 now lol. Yes, I still see them.

[TSASIS12ify]

@OMGitsREAPER

did you take any surgery or something in this past years?

[OMGitsREAPER]

@TSASIS12ify No.

[TSASIS12ify]

@OMGitsREAPER

is your sight is fine or the floaters and flashes became worse?

[inceptionplus]

[Dazmx]

[blackbeast1998]

[greensoldier230]

well im 17, it looks like alot of teens around my age has them... i want to get surgery so bad!! i cant even enjoy the beach anymore!! :( i started getting them around last year in may but i got flashes a couple months later...is this bad? im scared i might go blind.... D: help!

[baznian]

@greensoldier230 don't worry, I start to see eye floaters when i was 12 or 13 , and till then I still have them, and Im 22 now. They really suck, worst thing is when its really sunny day, or snow outside. But you get use to them. There are still days when they piss me off, but not that much as before. I thought about operation, but when I saw what they do with your eye, no way I will do that. I will wait till somebody discover a pills for this xD

[Randomsauce77]

@greensoldier230 From what i've heard you can't go blind from floaters or flashers. Ask your parents to take you to a doctor to see if surgery is an option.

[TSASIS12ify]

@Randomsauce7

where did you heard that?

i wish its true

[Randomsauce77]

@TSASIS12ify I was just looking around the Web and such and most sites were saying you couldn't go blind from them, it seems it's just some thing floating around in your eye that obstructs your Retina. I'm not a doctor, though, but this is what I've heard.

[TSASIS12ify]

@Randomsauce77

hmm i read that too on some sites most of them its been 30 yrs but the floaters is still in them im only just concerned in flashes of light thats why im asking every one here

[tonikroos4]

@greensoldier230

Hey, ive got them too, but since 3 weeks i have a tinnitus , a real high beep in both ears like you watch an old big screen tv. it happent during a concert and its MUCH MUCH MORE annoying than floaters ! :((

[greensoldier230]

@tonikroos4 aw im sorry :(

[Frederik19951995]

@greensoldier230 You might have toxoplasmosis, i have that!

And i got alot of floaters... cant enjoy snowweather and things like that

[greensoldier230]

@Frederik19951995 is it bad???

[Frederik19951995]

@greensoldier230 I think it sucks pretty much.. but it isnt that serious.. Only if you dont get treatments. else your vision on the infected eye is threatened.

[Sassyx01]

im 14 and have them , they r so annoying -_____-

[MrTYG23]
