The eyeball has a drainage port to take care of this problem naturally. However the port gets clogged eventually and must be cleared with a laser.

Now I'm afraid I have them. I always see things out of the corners of my eyes and also my vision is sometimes blurry for no reason, and then clears up. I guess it's time to visit my eye doctor again. The last time he said I was fine, but he was just checking my vision-I didn't ask him about floaters!Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609788440028784698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-69166646805309043942016-07-25T21:36:40.355-03:002016-07-25T21:36:40.355-03:00You may have solved the mystery, EC - I was very t...You may have solved the mystery, EC - I was very tired and very stressed on the weekend ... maybe that IS the problem. I'm feeling better today, and the problem has receded somewhat ... I do hope you're right.<br /><br />I'm sorry you lost your eyesight no matter how temporary - I can only imagine how awful it must have been. Let's hope hard that it was a hiccup and never happens again.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-80644108643298193692016-07-25T21:32:51.115-03:002016-07-25T21:32:51.115-03:00Cataract surgery is amazing, isn't it?

I still had to have corrective lenses because they couldn't fix 100% of my astigmatism, but it's a vast improvement and I don't mind glasses anyhow. That is pretty funny that you saw an ant and thought it was a floater! Funny, but also good, because it wasn't a floater after all :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-71748581120075121532016-07-25T17:31:35.149-03:002016-07-25T17:31:35.149-03:00Sigh on the floaters front.

Could that be your culprit?<br />I have twice (very temporarily thankfully) lost my sight as a MS manifestation. Terrifying.<br />And both of my father's retinas detached on the same weekend. Yay for surgical advances. I am so glad yours could be corrected.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-69316071385972789862016-07-25T16:01:22.308-03:002016-07-25T16:01:22.308-03:00All of my floaters seemed to go away after my cata... All of my floaters seemed to go away after my cataract surgery last year. Man am I ever glad I had that surgery. I was so blind, it was like looking through waxed paper, and now I have 20/25 in my right eye and 20/40 in my left. I don't have to wear glasses any more, except for reading and using the computer, and I had been wearing them since seventh grade. The other day I was reading online and I thought I saw a fast moving, dark, floater in my right eye, but it turned out to be an ant on my reading glasses...<br /> Here is a Sci Show episode about floaters that I liked and you might like also:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bscDeT4tV9g<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-78107726208255915442016-07-25T12:50:01.457-03:002016-07-25T12:50:01.457-03:00Being born IS kind of hard work, not that I rememb...Being born IS kind of hard work, not that I remember it, but still.

She also warned me about them changing from benign to symptoms of trouble, which has not occurred.

I notice floaters every once in a while but mine are just dust or debris on the surface of the eye -- they never linger long. I don't seem to have any internal ones.
