Omg! What are floaters?

Question

I think I might have them...? Someone just told me to see an optometrist..? I'm scared.

Answer 1

Floaters are little bits of "stuff" floating in your eyeball. They are often bits of dead cells and other debris from normal wear and tear on your eyes. They are normally not a problem, but if you never noticed them before, and suddenly they appear, it could be indicative of blood leaking from vessels in the retina, which is why you ought to go see your ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam. I wouldn't worry; floaters are pretty common and lots of people have them.  

Answer 2

It's nothing...

I'd rather have floater's in the eye than floater's in my drink!

Answer 3

Nothing to worry about they are just little dots that float around in your eye.  They are in the tear layer & cause no damage, They can be irritating when they get to a size that you see them all of the time. There really isn't anything you can do for them.

Answer 4

haha, floaters is nothing. seriously. a LOT of people have those wiggly lines or spots that usually come about from time to time, especially when looking into the light or the sky...

relax... they don't mean anything bad, it was just the first imprint of light into yours eyes when you were a baby. :)

Answer 5

the ones in your eyes? lol

yeahh go see them...if you see flashing lights..

or a constant light you can see ( the light when u see after someone has taken your picture) it is likely you do have them.
