floaters - Eye & Vision Message Board

I am 33 and have about 30 things I can see
floating around in my eyes,
especially in bright sunlight
and against white backgrounds.
I can get over it despite the annoyance,
but they are really weird looking and I
wondered how you know when something is
really wrong there. I saw an optometrist
who dilated my pupils and looked around
and said it was just floaters-nothing to
be done. The things are chain-like
and multi-pronged, with some black dots.
The chains are outlined in black but
clear in the rest of them. I was just told
if you see light flashes to come back in.
However, these are really weird-looking
things to keep seeing.

I'm just relaying a story from a friend. My friend went to a Reliv meeting where he met a man who had floaters. The told him to start adding Fibrestore to his 2 shakes per day and that they would go away. If you are interested in talking with the man, please let me know. You can click on "my profile" and e-mail me. Thanks Tia

could be harmless floaters or could be a form of uveitis. your condition should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist as you may require treatment for inflammation. best of luck
