Hey, the other topic by Charles related to his eye problem made me think of something which is annoying me since a few weeks.. I think I have some "Eye Floaters".. I didn't know what this was since I few minutes ago, after looking on some medical website related to eyes problems. Here is a short description: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002085.htm Well, I remember, since I was young, to always have had those. They were only visible when looking into pale textures, like the sky or a sheet of paper. But I was pretty much never paying attention to that and never noticing them. Althought since a few weeks, in my right eye, it seems that I'm seeing a lot of them, and I notice them often. It's now hard to stop thinking about that when I'm in front of the computer or when I'm reading a something on a white sheet. My left eye seems to be pratically clear of them, I can only see some small ones in the edges of my left eye vision when I'm moving it really fast.. But there's never anything crossing the center of the vision of my left eye, while with the right eye, many "floaters" are crossing the center of the vision all the time when I'm moving my eye. On the webpage, they say "floaters looks like spots to some people, and they look like tiny threads to other. I see both. They also say "If you notice a sudden increase in floaters or if you see floaters along with flashes of light, call your eye doctor." There seems to be an increase in the amount of floaters, but I never saw any flash of light. On this webpage, they seems to say that it's a pretty normal phenomen and that the "floaters" can come and go without treatment.. I'm wondering if any of you also experiment that? So do you think it is normal? Should I be worried about my right eye? Thanks
