Floaters!!!!?

Question

im 16 an for the past few weeks iv goten tons of them i have a black moving dot in each eye and like 4 clears ones in each eye...i see them all day all the time and there getting worse and there anooying

Answer 1

Well, some people have more than others.  Are you getting enough fluid?  I know when I am working out really hard and don't drink enough water they seem to get worse, but that might be my imagination.

The good news - your brain will eventually adapt and you won't notice them anymore.  I have ALOT, but I can only really see them when a) I'm trying to -or- b) I'm looking at the sky, a wall, a blank projector screen and so on.

The opthomologist idea above me is a good suggestion as well.

Answer 2

ouch, i had the black one and now i have a permanant spot and a spot on my eye that can turn to cancer. This was for me cause of the UV rays. i would go to a eye doctor ASAP and make sure you dont have something bad like cataracts or Glaucoma. You most likely wont but it never hurts to go. AND TELL YOUR PARENTS!

Answer 3

any drastic increase in floaters should not be considered normal.

See an ophthalmologist urgently.
