Eye Floater Information

Floaters are tiny dark specks that can be seen in your field of vision, especially when you look at a blue sky, a white wall or any other uninterrupted, light coloured expanse. They are created when tiny clumps form in the clear, jelly-like substance (the 'vitreous humour') inside the eyeball.

As these tiny floaters are suspended in this 'jelly', they move when your eyeball moves. As a result, if you try to look directly at them, they may appear to disappear from sight.

Floaters can come in different sizes and shapes. Some look like little dots, while others appear like threads or little hairy clumps. In most cases, floaters are normal and harmless. However, a sudden increase in their number may indicate damage to particular internal structures of the eye. This requires professional attention.

We recommend the Eye Floaters Solution for completely getting rid of eye floaters the natural way.

To me that sounds like you are suffering from visual migraine. Does this happen more often when you are tired or stressed? In any case, go get it checked out as I'm not a doctor, just someone who gets visual migraine when I haven't slept enough.

I've been suffering from an extreme case of eye floaters that started about a month ago. I've always had floaters ever since I was a kid, but now they are extreme. I've been to the ophthalmologist and they said that the floaters were not caused by PVD. I also see sparks in my vision that flow around freely. The doc said that I might have a visual migraine, but that doesn't explain the floaters that I'm seeing. I'm only 20, so I don't understand why I'm suffering from so many floaters. I've become so depressed that sometimes I feel like I want to die!!!!

I need to know if there are others like me who've experienced a large amount of floaters while they were younger. Do they eventually fade and become less noticeable over time? I need to know if things will get better because right now I just can't cope with it. Does anyone have suggestions on how to ignore floaters?

Lately I've beene experiencing what I think might be eye floaters. I've had 3 episodes in the past 4 days. They come on suddenly and only in my left eye. I see sort of flashes of light and objects in my peripheral vision seem to be all jagged and swirly. I used to have migraine auras and they was similar to this but lately it's only been in my left eye, it lasts about 10-20 minutes then goes away after I take some tylenol. It's more annoying than anything but afterwards my left eye feels heavy and sore. I'm seeing my doctor in two weeks as I think I should get a referral to an opthomolgist. Does what I've explained sound like eye floaters?

@Lewis: Although it might seem like you're too young to see eye floaters, many people develop them since the age of 14 or even younger. Rest assured that your floaters are not permanent and will be probably cleared by the time you're 30 or so. As I've said several times, simply get used to them for now they're not as bad as they seem (don't forget to visit a doctor, though).

i am 17 years old and i remember haveing them when i was younger i dint know what they were to begin with, but then i started getting migranes for a different reson and thought tht the floaters were part of the migrane. reading about the eye floaters has helped alot, and the simple fact that im not the only one who sees them.

Thanks for the eye floaters information. I have personally suffered from eye floaters since I was 22 and have looked for a cure ever since. The information in this website gives me hope.

My eye floaters are getting worse and worse. I still don't understand how they became so. I am only 35, will they continue to get worse? Should I consider surgery?
