For those of you who don't know what an eye floater is:
• Be glad you don't
• Google "eye floaters"

I have maybe 5 large ones in each eye, along with several smaller ones. Irritating, but I had my first floater at age 12 so I've been dealing with them for 50 years.

You?

One small one that I hardly notice. I only catch it at the right angle and in the right light or when I blink really fast.

I only get them if I stare at the sky too long like when I'm looking for a plane or something.

Floaters pop up every now and then but nothing permanent.

I do get auras about 3-4 times a week. Those suck.

I have a few small ones. Depending on where I'm looking sometimes I think I see a small black bug flying around.

First noticed when I was 8 staring at the sky, so for 22 years now. Never counted them but they are very noticable and exteremly irritating.

I feel like these 3 monitors I stare at every day will cause some for me.

Hey TP have you ever been checked for MS? I have remit/remission MS and severe eye floaters were one of my first symptoms. 1/2 the times I have had a strong remit episode it includes eye floaters accompanied by other symptoms.
