eye floaters

[trixipaws]

do u kno occasionally u get those lil floaters in yr eyes? but if u rub them they go away? well, iv had one in my left eye now for about a week. i know its the same one because i recognise the shape! i can only see it in certain light and when i'm looking at the computer screen, i dont notice it otherwise. its definately a "floater" because it drifts even when my eye is still, so i dont think its a scratch or anything. but should i be worried that its not going away?

I wouldnt be to worried, I get them a bit and I was worried to went to GP who advsied me to get my eyes tested. They were fine. They said it was most likely down to either stress or tiredness or a mixture of both.

If you are still worried either speak to your GP or maybe get your eyes tested to put your mind at rest.

As you use a PC, try to turn the brightness of your screen down and make sure there is no glare from any windows.

I get these too on occasion. They aren't really anything to worry about I've been told. It's just the goop in your eyes running through their arteries ... or something along those lines.

Stress CAN indeed make it worse, but just try not to worry about it, I know they are annoying though and yeah, I was freaked out the first time I noticed them! Lol.

I get these as well but they aren't really anything to worry about. I have a neurological condition as well and I've talked to 4 neurologists about it and nobody has ever said that they are a problem. I hate them though. They are so much worse when the day is bright or when I am looking at white walls. You do get used to them though!!
