Eye Floaters + Driving = A Bad Mix. Wonder what it is like dealing with eye floaters all the time? Are you having trouble convincing people that your floaters are much worse than those wimpy floaters they have? Here is a video simulation of what it might be like driving with a moderately severe eye floaters in your vision. We are the only medical practice exclusively treating eye floaters.

  • I'm type 1 Diabetic and have been for a little over 12 years. I'm only 14 years old and I take good care of my diabetes. I have never had a an A1C over 8.2. I have eye floaters, I have read that it is unusual for a 14 year old to have eye floaters. The have continuously gotten worse for the past year. Could this be from Diabetes? I went in for a eye exam about a month ago. They said my eyes were fine. But i didn't have an extensive exam. (i don't know why) Could this be diabetic retinopathy?

  • @FANCYPANTSFREERIDE YouTube is not an appropriate place to discuss specific medical conditions. Please contact me through my web site if you have a more specific or personal medical related set of questions. Dr. Johnson

  • These are not floaters. They are early signs of diabetes.

  • @TheCocoaPuff23 For those who choose to get their medical advice from "CocoaPuff", caveat emptor. Advanced diabetes with retinal hemorrhage can cause floaters, but it is quite rare compared to the more benign variety. Most people with floaters do not have diabetes, and in fact have very healthy eyes.

  • i have energy viewing in my left eye only when lookin at light colors. could it be floaters?

  • @LuxuriousLuxembourg I'm not sure what you mean by "having energy". Need better description. Medcial questions are better asked via my web site, please.

  • German Internet Site about an German Boy with many hard Floaters!

  • Simulation not very realistic. When someone drives eyes have very fast movements, due to road scanning, in all directions, hence floaters move faster.

  • i see those same things, but the ones i see are transparent with a black litle dot and i usually just see them when i "chase them". and the transparent ones don't really bother me, the only one that bothers is the little black dot.

  • I see those things, without any color, and sometimes in white. is it the same thing? What's the name of the thing, if you know this thing.

    Thanks in advance.

  • it was so cool to see an actual example video of what I see once in a while, most of the time my floaters are off to the side and I don't notice them, had them for decades. Every so often they appear more transparent than in the video but the effect is still the same, more of a blurry spot that is a consistant shape, looks just like a strand of protein floating around that I can get to move out of the way just by shaking my head or looking back and forth.

  • cure for floaters, google it.
