Floaters Anonymous
I've had these "things" in my vision since I was a kid. My mom told me they were called floaters and ran in the family. I've never really worried about them and I'm 25 now. I've only started really noticing them lately right when I wake up on bright mornings. I can see little grey cobwebby things all over my vision.
Recently decided to look them up, and found a wiki article with a very accurate depiction of them. It's kind of hard to describe them to someone without them. It seems there's not a lot one can do but live with them, but DAMN they're annoying.
Does anyone else here suffer from this?

Yep. Just blink a bit, roll your eyes around, the more annoying ones will go away. I barely notice them unless I'm staring into space.

Don't follow them. What ever you do don't follow them.

Since they follow the eye you can't really follow them.

OP here, I was only asking since mine are quite severe. I mean I'm mostly used to them, but here and there will be a huge clump of grey worm/dot looking things on my vision.... and since they move with the eye, they flick around as I read or play video games. It's practically a net of floaters obscuring my vision. From what I've been told, most people don't have them quite that bad.
Unfortunately surgery complications include blindness, so that's out of the question.
Was just curious what other sufferers do do get rid of them or ignore them... Moving my eyes quickly just moves them around.. :(

Roll your eyes really fast while blinking and it should disperse them. Mechanical motion et al.

i have those, and the wierd static stuff where when you stare in the dark long enough its like really mild tv snow, and if you stare at something bright like sun shining on a wall or the sky, i see bright white dots floating around, but these things only happen in the aforementioned occasions, so they arent a bother, interesting really. but my eye sight is perfect.

your brain blocks redundant stimuli. So when you stare at an object for a very long time you will have temporary blind spots. The reason why staring doesn't make you completely blind is because, your eye are always moving even if its only a little bit.

I wear contacts and I have these. I usually forget about them.

I just don't see them, until I stare at the blue sky. I've got both floaters and snow. Well, the snow actually looks likes flying small bright particles just like spontaneous matter/antimatter splitting. But they don't bother me. I don't see them in my daily work.

I have never seen those. They look look like giant amoeba or bacteria or something. If I saw those floating around I'd be quite frightened.

I used to get these all of the time and I'd pretend I was watching little microorganisms free falling from out of thin air. I'd just blink and shake my head and they'd normally disperse. Damn, I haven't had them in so long.. I miss them.

Decent picture to describe them though, OP. I have one in my left eye, and it looks like the black shadow in the pic on a tiny scale.

They're very annoying. I heard they're burst blood vessels and that's why they don't go away?
But if they dead cells, shouldn't they go away? Mine's been there for years.

Or maybe I keep seeing lots of different ones.

totally squint your eyes REALLY tightly and you get them

I get them but they are always in the same part of my eye. I can't "shake" them away. When they move it is just because my own eye is moving trying to see them. They are quite annoying, but I don't see them when I wear dark glasses
