(+) Yeah! (+)

They're distracting and I tend to mistake them for either a smudge on my glasses or some loose hair.

a....what?

I remember mentioning these to people as a kid and getting the above reaction. Didnt call em that of course.

Yeah I've had them for years. They suck.

They're only really visible if you have your sights set towards the horizon as your driving under an overcast sky anyway.

It's so weird how they always move right when you try to look at em!

Since I installed all LED 6ft bulbs at work I really notice them now. They get worse if I don't stay hydrated on a long weekend.

They're always watching, anticipating your next move. Much more evident when you're staring at a bright surface, hence them being more visible under sunny skies.

Also, I have the beginnings of macular degeneration. Not sure if dry or wet. https://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/amd-macular-degeneration

thanks now I keep looking at them

i got some on my left eye, thinking about taking it out

I was reading eye floaters are not anything to worry about and are normal

If you end up getting too many of them, they can impede vision. Looks like you can have someone remove and replace the vitreous, or have a laser break up the floaters into smaller pieces.

Damn. I didn't know they had an opteration for that.
They happen sporadically for me, like once a year or something, so a surgery to get them removed sounds super invasive.

Went to the eye doctor years ago thinking I could take a pill or eye drops. They just went, "yeeaaaahhh nothin ya can do bout those.....". Super lame.
