I have them, but very very few. I can only really tell they're there when I look at something bright.

My only advice is to chill. You're making the issue a x1000 times worse by freaking out about it.

Maybe they're not floaters and you're actually experiencing the early stages of cateracts or glaucoma. Go see a doctor.

On another note. Other floaters are usually pretty annoying as well. Especially on flush three or four.

if you have a sudden onset of floaters, it can also mean the early stages of a retinal detachment. That is serious. It's a quick $10 test @ the optometrist. $10 extra over my usual optometrist visit for peace of mind was well worth it.

Floaters, look it up on wikipedia. It's stuff that floats in your eye and it is OH MY GOD ANNOYING! I have it only in one eye, my left, and it really.. is insanely fucking annoying. I am not joking I rather be fucking blind than have these fucking things float across my eye consistently. What makes this happen? Is it just natural or does something have to happen for it to occur? Either way I am wanting to just cry because they seriously kill me. It ruins my thought process and when I close my eyes and have a light on I can still see them. It's REALLY ANNOYING.

Anyway.. rant and wishing I was dead.

Once again, the Large Hadron Collider strikes.

I hate when a large hardon collides with my eye.

:shocked:

happen often?

I thought a floater was when you forgot to weigh the body bag down with enough rocks. Now, that can be hard to explain to your boss. The guy seems to overreact to everything. :eek:

worse is when you forget the bag and just tie them down with ropes and rocks.

If you get a floater in your eye, you are taking the shot all wrong. Damn noob drinkers...

Floaters are the best alien to fight in Xcom. They give you cool heavy plasma rifles and you can actually kill them and they don't take over your men's minds (much, that I remember at least).

Holy shiz, I didn't know this was 'common' / that it even existed. I always thought I was just literally 'seeing' / imagining things when I saw these!
