I think I have eye floaters!??


Question: First of all I DON'T see them all the time. Mostly after I wake up and am looking at a blank background, such as my wall, or staring into space. Thats when I notice little clear, curved lines in my way of vision. Then I'll try to follow them but they sort of drop out of the picture. Then I blink and sure enough theres another one of the darn things. I hate to classify them as floaters b/c they only lasts a couple of minuets and then I fine. Like I said I don't have them all the time.
Also, I did have two eye surgeries a long time ago. Can that be a factor into what has caused these floater type things?
Answers: Okay this IS the correct answer. You are seeing something called entoptic phenomena. The cornea sheds epithelial cells and the major component of your tears are lipids secreted by the miobian glands in you eye lids, Without going into why you see them, you would need an understanding of visual optics, for that. They are NOT floaters. A floater occurs when there is a bleed from the retina inside the eye and they do not move when you blink or move your eyes. Optician.
It's normal... most people have them...
I see them too. They're hard to see because when you try to look at them they move b/c your eyeball is moving. But once I caught one dead center. I've always assumed that you are looking at something really close up as if your eye has become a microscope b/c what you see looks like cells. I have them all the time and once told a girlfriend about them and she didn't what the heck I was talking about. She also didn't know about your urine smelling funny 2 minutes after you've eaten asparagus. Come to think of it, she was kind of a retard.
I have Crookenbergs spindles, that is where little chips of the retina break off and float, but they usually look black. I have had them since 16 maybe. Went to the dr and found out. since then I have had 4 surgerys. And had 4 detached retina's, 2 on each eye. I also found out I am diabetic, which is usually the cause. better save your eyesite and go to the doc.
i see em too sometimes

like little sparkle squiggles that you just cant seem to catch..

i used to think they were part of the supernatural spectrum and i had some kind of awesome power
