Does everyone gets it or is it only me >.<

Answer 1

Everyone gets them. Its NORMAL.  They are Floaters cause by the breakage of the vitreous gel like fluid inside your eye.  

What your seeing is the &quot;SHADOW&quot; of the breakage which is casted off the retina.....those r &quot;floaters&quot;

They r NORMAL.

Consult ur optometrist IF you notice an over abundance of them; sudden vision loss, OR, Flashes of light~all are indications of retinal detachment.  

But your FINE...... :)

There is a procedure that can remove them &quot;vitrectomy&quot; but is only good when your above 50~ after cataract surgery.  U got a while!

Answer 2

Not everyone gets them but I have some.  I agree they are very annoying.  They can settle down to the lower part of the eye or can eventually be absorbed.  My eye doctor explained the eye is like a snow globe.  If you jump up and down or shake your head around a bit it will stir them up again.  Also if you are looking at a large expanse of light color such as the sky they will be more noticeable.
