Floaters

[Penny_Plinker]

Started seeing little spots before my eyes. Two of them in my field of vision of my left eye and they appear like little floating black specks. Very irritating because it is like there is constantly a couple gnats in your face. I read up about it on the net and it said there's not much can be done about them, it comes with age. But you should go to the eye dr to make sure it's not a detached retina or something like that. So i went to the dr, and luckily he said everything is okay. But i'm still stuck with the gnats. At least it ain't my shooting eye.

Hopefully, you will get used to them. Not a cure, I know. I've had them since I was 25, quite a few yrs ago.

PP, BTDT.
you're right. it does with age.the bad eye sight i mean.
this year i went for the first time for glasses.
and when the dr. looked at my info he asked
"is this correct? 47? and you are a microwelder?
i said yes to all.
and he said
"damn. what took you so long?
i said"because i still have the eyes of a hawk'
he said "not any more, but not much less"
that did my old heart good.
as for floaters. yes i have a few .
i asked the dr. about this and he compared the human eye to a christmas snowglobe:
just daily movement will shake them from time to time. but they settle after a while.
i dont know your age. but if its comparable to mine? grin and bear it. and be glad you can still see.

get some hyaluronic acid, it helps with that.
it's for cartiledge but it helps with floaters too, my kung fu instructor was using it for joints, and found out it helps with floaters, he told me he's noticed a difference with his eyes. . . not sure about the joints.
