Floaters...

[growalot]

Have you ever gotten floaters in your eyes? Driving me nuts..actually more like spider webs in my left eye..figures aiming eye...my blood sugar is fine..just tested last week..they say common at my age and usually go away. Is that true?

Had them for 50 years they come and go , Have no problem with them.My eye glass Dr. said not worth doing anything.

Being a diabetic, I've had them for years now. You never get used to them just accept them after awhile. My Doc says they are no big deal. Easy for him to say!

They don't bother my shooting, bow or gun. Or my vision, just an annoyance that is more noticeable at times than others.

Great video! I have had those little guys for several years, and the Eye doctor went thorough a similar explanation. Nothing to worry about, if you can deal with the minor distraction. Eventually they seem to go away, but most likely it is just the brain accepting and ignoring them for a while. but they'll be back next time you look at a bright surface or up in the sky.

 

Ah the human body is a maze of crazy occurrences.

They one or two times I had 'em seemed related to some nutritional deficiencies, fatigue and just not eating right.
