The Girls' Mom Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've had a rather annoying floater in my eye for a couple of weeks now. It's bigger than any I've ever had before, and I've never had the same one bug me for more than a day or so. No eye pain, or other trouble...just that annoying floater!

Impish Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sorry, I thought this was another fish thread. I'd call an optometrist or someone to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHandsAreFull Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've had a rather annoying floater in my eye for a couple of weeks now. It's bigger than any I've ever had before, and I've never had the same one bug me for more than a day or so. No eye pain, or other trouble...just that annoying floater! Go get it checked! It is really hard sometimes to tell just from the history whether or not that's a harmless floater such as from a vitreal detachment versus the far more serious detached retina. Don't mess around. Just get it looked at by an optometrist or ophthalmologist ASAP [not 3 weeks from now]...your vision is priceless. I cut corners on lots of stuff like generic drugs, refusing to go in for fairly routine stuff, etc. This is not a place to cut corners. Call someone for an appointment now...(I don't mean that to sound harsh or rude; hope it doesn't) My 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 What I thought were floaters turned out to be visual disturbances from high blood pressure, so I'd also advise getting it checked it there has been a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
