hi there

Never heard of hat kind of floaters but they tell me I have floaters but I dont see hem. one doc called them puppy paws and other one caled then pony tails had tehm for along time but I just dont see them

i have never encountered that word before, so i check wiki for the meaning, and as i checked what it says i do not think i have this kind of eye difficulty, so how are you now? and also why did the doctor have to say to you that your life will be shortened, only for that reason? is that possible?

Yes I have had floaters for many years. Sometimes they are grey shadows other times they are little flashes of light (look like silver tadpoles). They come and go I have also gone to the doctor but they usually go away on their own.

quita sometimes they do, sometimes they dont, I just got used to mine but had not had an diabetic eyecheck up in years, and after I went almost wished I had not, I have cataracts in both eyes I guess and really one pretty good eye and one, my left one, has beginning macular degeneration so am not sure if it will progress or not. I am getting glasses in about a week. I am trying to tell myself so I have one bad eye but still have one good one and the glasses the doctor said will help me to see in spite of the bad eye.I am not going blind hopefu lly as my one eye just needed a little more help, my glasses had not been changed in years. Its just scary to thing somethings wrong with an eye, you know.My best friend bought me eye vitamins and calcium as she feels this will stop the degeneration so am so thrilled to be working at it. i will take them religiously. I wou ld not worry about the floaters. a lot ofpeople have them and still have good sight ,the first time I had one I was scared too but the eye doctor said as we get older a good many people get them.

hello quita88, I never heard of this happening to eyes. I am glad you are better. Was it painful? or was it hard to see and everything was blurry? What did the doctor do? I am also glad you back to my lotting talking to us. I hope you have a speedy recovery and get the real good answers from us Mylotters. Thanks and have a great day! Sincerely Unique16

My husband has had a floater before, it about drove him crazy but it did go away. He is one of these people that notices the strangest smallest little things. We once took back a new monitor twice because he could see a line in the screen come to find out finally that is the line that fused the two sides of the screen together so it would be flat. He also sees some weird bending on the edge of the tv picture. These are flaws that the manufacturs know about but 99% of the population do not see. Good luck and I hope it goes away really soon.
