Does anyone else have eye floaters that bother them. I've actually had them
all of my life, but in the last few years they are RIGHT SMACK DAB in the
middle of my focus and they are honestly driving me bats. I believe I just
got a new one today. I kept batting a "spider" at the far edge of my vision,
but every time I looked it was gone. And that eye looks (to me, looking out)
kind of like I'm looking through a pool of water.
What causes them? Is there anything they can do to get rid of them?

My eye physician says they are "old eyes". The viscous fluid thickens
with sort of "veins" in the fluid. Not much can be done other than
using non-medicated eye drops (Refresh etc.) to help stave off dry
eyes, and eventually you stop seeing them only because you become used
to them. I too am looking for a mosquito or a fly or a spider at the
side of my vision at times, and just laugh at myself.
I was being examined one time and one crossed my field of vision and
my doctor said she actually could see it with the light she was using
for the examination of my eyes. It's sort of like egg whites, know
what I mean? Not just thick cloudy fluid but with some thicker bits
in the fluid. |

You should probably see the doctor to rule out anything else rather
than assuming it is the floaters, especially if there is a rapid
change. I remember reading that what we think are floaters, may not
be, and a cloudiness could be indicative of cataracts. I have a couple
of floaters that I noticed way back in '89. I really only see them
when I'm sitting still and outdoors on a sunny day for some reason. |
