Eye Floaters
How many eye floaters do you have? How much do they bother you?

None, but if I have ever had them I never noticed.

I can find floaters any time I try, and almost all of the time I can ignore them. Sometimes, I can't ignore them.
I know the thread is young, but at the risk of setting it adrift, a more pressing vision problem I have from time to time has been described to me as a "visual migraine", or more precisely, acephalgic migraine, since I rarely experience the subsequent headache.

I have them and they usually don't bother me, but a couple months ago I bought some bananas at a farm stand and got infested with fruit flies. I spent a lot of times trying to kill floaters.

Have them. See them any time I decide to.
Once the doc looking in my eye asked if they bothered me. Well, they didn't until you mentioned it. |

I was sitting by the water with my grandfather years ago. Just enjoying the day. Then he said that it would be perfect if it wasn't for that damn barking dog. The dog that I hadn't noticed but couldn't not hear after he mentioned it.

I have floaters and they're a wretched nuisance.
I had an eye test a couple of weeks ago and got the usual advice that they're only a real problem if there's a sudden increase in the damn things. Anyway, needed new specs so opted for the 'two pairs offer' as I stand a reasonable chance of not losing both pairs at the same time. It's funny that I am able to see the optometrist's bill in super high definition clarity. Without the aid of specs.

apparently there are floaters and then there are floaters. A really big floater that significantly obstructs your vision can be zapped with a laser and vaporized.
Like this one. |

do you ever watch two of them and bet on which one will win the race to the edge of your vision?

They don't make it to the edge. Most of them swirl because one end or the other is tied down somewhere. Like a baton twirler. The stick can spin in its little orbit but it can never really get farther away than her arm can reach.
I didn't really mean to launch into complaining though, I was just shocked to learn that Mr. Clod has no floaters, zero, and only has a loose idea of what they even are. I was trying to figure out which one of us is more of an anomaly. |
