Eye Floaters

They are known as benign "eye floaters".

In response to above:

I have the same problem but its definitely not "eye floaters." They are very real looking. Most of the time they look like tiny tan centipedes almost larva sized but they move too fast to be larva. I see them on the floor and I have to get up close to them or shut my eyes for a minute for them to go away but usually they try to scurry under things. If I keep my eyes open and watch them go under things, when I lift up what ever they went under they are gone. Its so scary that its developing into a phobia for bugs.

Before this started happening I didn't like bugs but they didn't scare me now these experiences are so traumatic that I freak out when i see ones that are there and ones that aren't there. I almost cant take seeing bugs now.

I have been looking online and some other answers seem to be drug abuse from uppers but I don't do drugs. My grandmother had Alzheimer's/dementia but I am only 21.

It doesn't happen too often and usually only when I am awake for too long but it has happened when I wasn't awake that long too so I am very confused.

If anyone else knows what's going on I would really like to know!

Bilateral eyes can be allergies that are annoying you.

u probably either had a reaction to meds, making u hallucinate. or u just have a vivid imagination From Derwydd:

Without background information, this question's answer will be somewhat diffuse.

Initial assumption: This happened in the material world, not a dream or vision.

Assuming you loved and were close to your father:

If you were hunting, then it was a sign not to kill this particular stag.

If you were enjoying the forest but were not hunting, then it was a message to pay attention to your loving connections to the natural world, including people, because it is paying attention to you with similar grace.

If you and he were parted with unresolved issues, then this was a message that you need not feel guilty; he lives in grace and beauty and so should you.

Assuming you did not have a close, loving relationship with your father:

It is a message to live with more grace and gentleness because your current path has hidden dangers.

First they will check your vision, if you need correction based on that test they do a refraction (the machine with all the lenses where they ask you "better 1, or better 2?". After they get your glasses rx, if needed, they will check your intraocular pressure using either a tonopen, applanation or non-menthol contact applanation (the air puff), but they will put a numbing drop in your eye so you won't feel anything. Next they dilate your eye (make your pupil big) and then check the back of your eye (retina, optic nerve, macula, blood vessels). A lot depends on age and health, but those are the basic things they look for in an regular eye exam.

I looked it up, the information says vision eye problems, but it's not specific. Look at the source related link below for more details.

Botulinum toxin may also be used to weaken the medial rectus muscle of the affected eye. This weakening effect is short-lived and repeat injections are necessary.

They are birth marks commonly found in people born with brown hazel eyes but the number of spots and positions vary from person to person I have six medium sized one three in each but my friend who has the same type of eyes only has one in his right but it is a large one almost like a second pupil but as far as I know they don't affect vision but they do look pretty cool

It is likely to be another floater but you should still get her eyes checked by an Optometrist- better to be safe than sorry.

Not in themselves, but:If the floaters you see in your eye are the insignificant ones that have been there, to one degree or another for your whole life, they likely present no danger. Though annoying, the vast majority of floaters are harmless, and there are ways to prevent them through proper diet.

If, however, new floaters suddenly appear marked by bright light spots or streaks and dark moving specks, this could be a sign of retinal detachment, which can cause permanent blindness if not treated immediately. An immediate visit to an ophthalmologist is recommended. If this condition has been ruled out by your doctor try this natural cure i have heard great reviews from it eyefloaterscure.siterubix.com

Isolated sixth nerve palsies usually manifest as a horizontal diplopia worse when looking towards the affected eye, with a decreased ability to abduct.

Yes, at least call and ask to speak with the doctor- they may need to refer you straight to the ER

No - astigmatism only has to do with the shape of your eye. Floaters are a natural part of aging due to the changes in the jelly-like vitreous in the back of your eye. If you see many floaters, or floaters with flashes of light, make an appointment to see an eye doctor.

Dark glasses makes them much less noticeable. But there is no other effect.

The difference is that cataracts is a cloudy film that grows over the eye, it starts very small then get larger. Floaters are dark specks you notice especially when looking at a white wall.

If you have 'black floaters' in your eyes, you should see an eye specialist immediately for a full exam. As we age, the vitreous humor, a normally transparent, jelly-like substance that fills our eyeballs, can begin detaching from the retina. When this happens, you may see flashes of light or floating threads and spots in your vision. This may signal a retinal tear or detachment that needs treating ASAP.Once retinal detachment has been ruled out by a doctor, rest assured that floaters are perfectly normal and benign. If you find them annoying, you'll be pleased to know that with time, you will learn to ignore them. However, if they are particularily numerous, or visually debilitating, some patients may opt for a surgical procedure called a vitrectomy. In a vitrectomy, the vitreous humour is sucked out of the eye and replaced with a saline solution. Within a few hours, the body's natural aqueous replaces the saline solution.

Vitrectomy to treat floaters is a highly successful procedure that may be offered by a vitreous retina surgeon if they feel it's right for you. Common side-effects include retinal detachment, cataract, and rarely infection. Fortunately, the potential complications of vitrectomy are highly treatable. You should only consider vitrectomy surgery if you've had bothersome floaters for more than two years, your eyes are otherwise healthy, and you have no history of major eye problems in your family.

If it moves about then it is a floater. This happens when the jelly in the eye develops cracks. They often heal.

well, there are many problems you can have with eyesight... the most common is only being able to see heads. this freaks a lot of people out as they see heads floating around in blank spaces. Also there are: Only being able to see at night, fear of vision (seeofobia) and many more.

Yes. The main cause is sternomastoid muscle.

No, I have eye floaters and I'm young, and they are black.

The back of the eye is filled with a jelly-like fluid called vitreous. When it breaks down with age, clumps of it can be seen floating around. There is no way to prevent this, but if there are large "floaters", or flashes with the floaters, an optometrist should be seen.

No. There is no treatment.

They just float around randomly, they have no resting place.
