Last year I was diagnosed with glaucoma in that eye.

Have you always had it? If you also notice bright lightning flashes when you cough or sneeze real hard, or if you start getting tunnel vision, you might want to get it tested. That's evidence of your optic nerve detaching from your retina.
Since I've done research I've noticed a flash in my left eye when I do rigorous eye movement. It's kind of hard to see if it's different since that wasn't a routine test. My right eye has no symptoms. Back to the eye doctor.

I got one in each eye about a year and a half ago. Used to drive me crazy, but I've gotten used to them.

I've had one, a transparent dot in the left side of my vision for as long as I can remember. At 34yo now, a few more small ones have appeared. I somehow developed a small cataract in my left eye in my early 20s, but other than that my yearly eye exams turn out fine, so the floaters have never been an issue connected to anything.

Your are falling apart from the inside out.

I know! What the hell?

You should have never taken that trip to Bangkok.

I'm a little superstitious about my eyesight. I've abused the hell out of it, reading like a mofo every day since I was 8 or so, usually small type.

My day was born nearsighted and my mom has old lady farsightedness, but so far I plug along with no deficits, from near to far, low light, color blindness, etc.

That's what freaked me out about the sleep aid shit, until I realized it went away after I slept.

I started getting them then went to the eye doctor. Turns out a vein blew up in the back of my retina. Now I get ****ing eye shots every 6 weeks to try to fix it.

You need to make sure you are not suffering a retinal tear from detachment of your vitreous sac . I have suffered two that required emergency surgery. One tear in the right eye in June 2002 and two tears in the left eye in May 2004.

I have scleral buckles on both eyes.

I have a ton of floaters and left over vitreous :rolleyes:

I thought a floater was when you take a dump and check to see if it floats.

I have one that floats around on the right side of my left eye. Just figured it had something to do with getting knocked out a time or three.

My tracers are worst when I'm right on the edge of being awake and being asleep. I don't have them very often beyond that.

Strongside 03-20-2015 09:24 PM
Had them my whole life.

I get them from time to time. Usually with a heavy flow.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 11:26 PM.
