    Do you have floaters?

    Picture

    Do you? I do. For many years already. Nothing extreme, I only see them when I'm staring at the sky. I only found out what they are recently though, by chance. It's a difficult thing to google if you don't know what it's called y'know?

    Or do you have Visual Snow? Just like floaters, I only get this when I'm focussing on the sky, and it's not that extreme.

    Don't deny it, I know what you were thinking of when you read the title!

    Omg, I always see them! In the morning, everyday. -_-

    It gets really annoying moving them around. What the heck are they anway?

    I get those occasionally. The floaters I mostly get when looking at a certain edge of say my glasses, I get the floating snow more as sparkle like things, though funny enough I only get that when looking at snow. Not just snow though, I mean bright, pure white snow.
    There's an economic concept known as a positional good in which an object is only valued by the possessor because it's not possessed by others. The term was coined in 1976 by economist Fred Hirsch to replace the more colloquial, but less precise "neener-neener".

    Don't get too excited, you don't want to yell 'I have floaters, wohoo!' in public.

    I noticed floaters a lot more when I was a teenager--I don't remember the last time I saw them without trying, and just now I did a check and only got two tiny ones.
    If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

    So that's that stupid squiggly line in my eye that keeps flitzing around! Yeah, I get it a ton, usually when I'm in a car or really bored in class.

    I get them all the time especially when its bright outside. Sometimes its fun to try to keep them in view because u can move them by jerking your eyeball in a direction and then they keep spinning across. I can see some right now actually by looking at the computer screen.

    I have floaters occasionally. Most of the time however, my dookie just sinks to the bottom of the bowl and stares back up at me.
    I don't believe in anything other than this sentence.
