Floating Eyes Spots

13 years ago

Floaters are very common, I get them every now and then. They are nothing to be worried about and in time will come and go. They are particles floating in the gel inside your eye and because they float around they sometimes come within your vision.

Here is a link that explains it all:

Hi Sheryl,

I think I have seen them before , but now they seemed to be lots of and probably due to my the 24/7 on the pc. When looking at very bright lights, these cobwebs will distort it , as if there is water in my eyes..guess there is nothing I can do about it.

Thanks

You have to see an opthalmologist immediately. It may or may not indicate something more serious.

Spending too much time on the computer will make you notice them more. And, possibly, make them worse.

As would being under stress. When I first noticed mine a couple of years ago, and thanks to reading the Internet, I was convinced I was going to die of something. (Haha.)

As it turned out it's perfectly normal especially for someone with dark eyes. That said, it's probably a good idea to see someone, just in case. Because sometimes it can be an indicator of something more serious.

Thanks

Unless I'm picturing it differently, mine were different than that. (More like "liquid" and "spots" rather than a "veil.")

So yeah, definitely get it checked. : )

If that's the case, you need to get to a doctor or hospital with 24 hours. Don't wait.

Yes I would be getting checked just to be safe. Mine were never like a veil, mine have always just been like a little fleck floating around and when you try and look directly at it, it moves.

Be on the safe side and get it checked out!

Get thee to a doctor. Better safe than sorry. If you wait and it turns out to be serious (like retinal detachment), there may not be anything they can do. So get it taken care of quickly.

Derek and waterotter are right. It MIGHT be nothing, but it could be DISASTROUS! Two BAD possibilities? Retinal detachment, which could lead to blindness, and stroke, which could lead even to DEATH! The viel thing could be a sign of STROKE!

BTW my mother had the retinal detachment and I had the viel. She was diagnosed by an opthamalogist, and has some serious problems. The doctor didn't know what to make of mine, since it looked a certain way. He said a dark viel coming down is a sign of stroke. MINE is like white going UP, go figure. It has happened DOZENS of times since my dissected aorta. They have no clue what it is though. *I* think, and my INR implies I am right, that MINE is due to a nueral blood supply obstruction and possibly an earlier "ministroke". It tends to be more frequent when my INR is low.

OMG You need to see an opthalmologist immediately - today! I've been going through this same condition the past couple of months, and the opthalmologist told me to call his office immediatly if the number of spots suddenly, greatly increases or if there was what looked like a veil coming down.

He said those two are an indication of a detached retna. I had the "sudden huge number of spots" and he sent me to a retna specialist. Fortunatly false alarm.

He was more concerned if I would see the veil.

A few floaters are normal.

Having a family member who suffered a detached retina, leading to permanent blindness in one eye - you MUST see a proffessional immediately. There is no second chance with this kind of stuff.

And if the above posts aren't enough to get you to the doctor ASAP, the floaters could also be parasites!

This is for everyone that spends hours a day in front of a computer. I had to get "computer glasses" last spring. One of the things the eye doc told me is to look away, at something much farther away than your computer screen, for a minute or so every 15 to 30 minutes. This helps relieve the strain caused by having your eyes focus at the same distance for long periods.

Thanks

I get these when I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, just take a break, make sure your eyes aren't dry, don't sleep in contacts if you wear them, etc...

Floaters may occur with the following conditions:

* Retinal detachment
* Diabetic retinopathy
* Posterior vitreous detachment
* Stroke
You better go to your ophthalmologist for immediate management.

I hope everything turns out alright. I was particularly worried about retinal detachment although vitreous detachment was also a possibility. If it is retinal detachment, the OP would probably have been admitted to hospital and had retinal surgery by now. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Best of luck

Derek

I bet nearly 100% of people with retinal detachment see out of the eye about as usual in the beginning. MOST even see ok before it becomes a major problem. Taking days off, etc... won't help that or necessarily stroke problems.

That said, at least it will help eyestrain and the blinking problem. They COULD cause visual problems, but I don't believe they could cause floaters. In fact, I have NO floaters that I can see, and have strained my eyes PLENTY, forgotten to blink, etc....

I'm sure I didn't say anything you don't know but, JUST IN CASE...

I would have honestly have wished that you saw a eye doctor today or attended the ER of an eye hospital if an appointment cannot be booked. Anyway, just do not move your head around violently just in case. Of course, it may turn out to be something much more minor.

I've had floaters since I can remember. They can be pretty annoying and noticeable sometimes, when looking at the sky for instance. Otherwise I don't notice them that often.

Hi guys,

Just back from the hospital. The ophthalmologist said all is fine with my eyes and the reason for the " floaters " is probably due to an inflammation in the eye. Such inflammation can occur after a flu or similar conditions. The doc did put some drops to get the eye pupil as wide as it can be, run me through two separate machines , stick his flashlight in the eye also...

Yours,
Crowly

Eye floaters always precede death. So you're a goner in up to 70 years. I would hate to be you. Right at the holiday season too. What a bummer for sure.
