I've had them for as long as I can remember. I rarely notice them, though.

I do as well. I only really notice the floaters if a) I am at looking something with a white background or b) thinking about it. I have spoken to my eye Dr. about it and he said that as long as its not getting worse, it shouldnt be a problem.

Same thing here.

Now I have a rubber band around my eye holding my retina in place.

If you have floaters, see an eye doctor ASAP.

I'll second this. Had floaters in both eyes starting when I was around ~12. Saw a specialist every year because of this. By the time I was 16, both of my retinas started to detach. All it took to fix was a quick 20 minute laser eye surgery per eye. Sure as hell beats having serious eye problems.

Did your floaters disappear after the laser surgery?

I only have major floaters in my right eye, otherwise perfect vision.

My mom has a huge floater, connected to the nerve so it won't fall down. It hangs right in front of her left eye, so she's nearly blind in that eye. It pains my heart to hear about her describe it. It's really sad.

She can get surgery to remove it.

Yep.

Retina is fried/scarred due to looking into a lit fiber optic link. dumb, dumb, dumb.

That's not a floater. I think those scars may be removable though

I've had one close to the center of my vision since I was a kid. It's frustrating because if I try to focus on it is moves to the left.

..same here. huge nuisance. make em go away.
