i have very small little rainbow strings going through my eyes is that an eye floater?

[Bluebird22200]

I know right!? I get so annoyed at school trying to look at the darn thing and every time I move my eye it follows with it!! ARGGG

[iseachaixx]

Keep complaining people! Raise awareness to the ophthalmologic professions!! We really need some help!! No scientists are studying this disease either, they focus way too much on other craps that are far less worse than this!

[smoke10108]

I fucking hate floaters!

[polepole407]

An operation is high-risk.

[max10wonderboy]

it fucking sucks that in the year 2010 there is not a fucking treatement for eye floaters!

[skullarc234]

lololol floaters become more and more haha i first noticed them like the first time i wore glasses and there was like only 1 or 2 but now there is like more than 5 but if you dont focus on them they just become "invisible".

[polepole407]

Thank you for the comment.

Since this is harmless, this operation is not undergone in Japan.

This figure is a thing explaining the principle which moves, and he does not recommend to move an eyeball.

Since there is danger of retinal detachment if it moves, please do not move an eyeball.

[freethinkermarkc]

By the way an optometrist is not the same as opthalmologist. Optometrist prescribe glasses, while opthalmologist can do more, like examine eye diseases, perform surgery etc. Opthalmologists study significantly more years than optometrists.

[freethinkermarkc]

I've talked to an opthalmologist about me seeing flashing lights. He said I should come back and report if if the lights become many, like if now there is 1 light, if there becomes 2 I should visit him immediately. So far it does not happen yet. And I don't see the lights that much.

[MrFrankthetank15]

Mmm i am worrie :( I am 15 and I have some!!

[Mattorzo]

its drives me nuts these things!! i cant fucknig take it anymore, im only 26 when you should have these thigns whjen your very old. fuck this fucking life, fuck everythign

[Animehem]

[xlilyinn]

@Mattorzo you need to take a chill pill. :P Lol. I've had these since I was TWELVE.

Kay? Kay. Shit happens.

[scottgellermd]

That's not exactly how they move. It's more like a pendulum in the anterior-posterior dimension

[polepole407]

Law of inertia yes it close to the retina

[ConstantC4]

ok what does it mean if my floaters move in the opposite direction , or in the same direction as I rotate my eye?

close to the retina?

[drum4tacos]

oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid. i see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision.

but when I try to look at you, you scurry away.

are you shy, squiggly line?

why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye?

oh, squiggly line, it's alright, you are forgiven.

[manutd4life00230]

I hav like over 7 of these floaters in my right eye, is that normal??

[drum4tacos]

>over 7?

do you mean "7"

or "over 9000"

[ryanfilko]

everybody has eye floaters people now chill

[ewinmn]

im 13 and ive had them for like 4 years now.... is that normal?

[sandra2584]

I GOT FLOATERS!!! NOOOOOssss

So annoying... I just got em 2weeeks ago.. and from what ivé read it seems like in doomed for ever... this really blows.. :(

i miss laying down on the grass looking up a clear blue sky without any of these annoyn glass like worm visions and blk dots flying about..

[ariguanabense25]

I know what you mean, the same thing happens to me, I hate to look at the sky and see those things, it's like I can't enjoy things that I used to.

[sandra2584]

I know right...

I look at the sky and it's a floater rave.. not 'Sandy making shapes with the clouds'... it's 'Sandy chases her floaters in the sky' lol

[Minimi31]

do laser threatment then

[sandra2584]

The first comments i wrote on here was when i just recently got them, so obviously i was freaked out.. its been months now and i'm use to them, i'm not that bothered as i was.

I must admit though, i do enjoy chasing them around the ceiling as i lay awake in bed in the mornings.

Happy Holidays

[vicodin75]

I mean as please dont scare me because the retinal detachment made my left eye blind maybe cuz i waited years to get it fixed? what if you get it fixed in the same month? im so scared to go blind, I have many floaters and the doc said my retina is in place and no glaucoma,

[SRospieler]

I got the shit because i have bad eyes of -5,5 both. Fuck it. m 22 and 2 years suxx very hard already at daylight :( BUT I WILL NOT FUCKING HIT MY EYE WITH KNIFE LIKE IN THE SAW MOVIE HAHAHA

[IIIlllll]

If only gravity would sink those shits to the bottom of our eyes.

[PieceofMindmusic]

it does actually.

[IIIlllll]

How? After a couple of years? :(

[PieceofMindmusic]

Actually, they do it overnight when you lie down to sleep. Try to look directly upward when you first wake up, and you might see some that have settled.

[ftutbs]

they say thats exactly what happens as you age your vitreous gel turns to liquid and they settle to the bottom of your eye.

[crapfig]

fuck those damn thing to hell!!!

[ConstantC4]

yeah that's about the way they move.

[Snipa47]

Floaters, flashes, and a dark shadow or curtain coming from your peripheral vision needs to be checked right away. The floaters and flashes are warning signs for a vitreous detachment, retinal tear, or retinal detachment. The shadow or curtain usually means retinal detachment and needs surgery for repair. Good thing you went when you did having a tear and lasering it is much better than a retinal detachment. Feel free to ask me questions

[sebastian30000]

Im 14 and I've had uveitis, and a bit of retinal detachment in my left eye and vitreous detachment in both eyes, the left vitreous detached yesterday, today went to the hospital and they said to just let the blood be absorbed.

could you please answer question for me, if you have a vitreousn detachment and there's no threat to retinal detachment, is it ok to do sports? (i'm planning on playing airsoft, a paintball type game) Thanks

[MagicMan2475]

Can you explain eye flashes because I've been trying to research them but I can't find out what they look like, can you just describe them for me, because sometimes when I really squint my eyes I (think) I see little light spots, I can't tell if I'm just paranoid or not, thanks.

[ewinmn]

do your eye flashes resemble this?

like after you get your picture taken with a camera and the flash was on. they take the picture and the flash is still kinda in your eye but it eventually fades after about 45 seconds or so.

I'm 13 i have eye floaters, and i get those flashes too. i sometimes get like permanent ones that last for like 3 hours, i call them blind spots. they give me a horrible headache too.

[pink12301]

hum, do u get flashing lights in ur eyes? if so u could be experiencing a migraine aura

[drum4tacos]

i get flashing lights sometimes, never thought it was a migraine. one time i saw them when i was talking to a medium, i felt fine.

[UltimateLPs]

Flashing lights can be a symptom of retinal tear or detachment. I would see an optometrist asap.

[vicodin75]

everyone has floaters at least alot of people do but dont scare people in thinking they are going to have a detached retina just because they have floaters, Ive had a detached retina and yes the flahses and curtain grey thing and even distortion in the eye is what you need to really worry about.

[Esuld]

wut.

[purpledragonpie]
