How many people see floaters? "eye related"

[jackspicer]

Ever sence i was a kid i could see these glassy and transparent things floating around in my eyes, Especially when i looked through glass or watched tv and they would drift around as i moved my eyes, and even when i wasn't moving my eyes they would float by. It's really annoying but i didnt know what the hell they were untill i ran across this... http://www.allaboutvision.com/condition ... floats.htm

I guess its common tho, Does anybody here have floaters? Do they drive you crazy when your on long car rides or playing video games?

[Ack]

Yeah, I see them. I figured that's all they were.

They come and go with me. Mostly noticeable when I'm looking up at a clear blue sky or something that's a solid, light color. My eye doc says they're harmless, as long as you don't see any flashes of light with them.

Whenever I look at the sky. Watching them float by is relaxing....

Very rarely if im bored and looking at a wall or carpet w/ a patern or the sky.

Yeah but only if staring into space and thinking about it. Does anyone see static? It's like static on a tv only the pieces are way tinier, it's like you can see each pixel of the resolution of your eyes or something.

This has happened many times to me - usually accompanied by dizziness and a slight feeling of disorientation. I always thought it was some kind of after-effect from all the hallucinogens I enjoyed when I was younger.

Nice to know that I didn't completely destroy my brain.

I thought these were bacteria swimming in my eyes, specially that I wear contact lenses
I thought it was something stuck to the lens. I was worried over time it would cause some kind
of inflammation to my eyes
