But I'm 65.Įye floaters are considered normal degenerative changes of the vitreous humor by the eye doctors. Once in a while I see a tiny circle with a dot, specially against the sky, almost like a copyright mark. But this was done in her mid eighties to 90's. She had cataracts on both eyes, a surgery for floaters, and until recently she had a Dr Yu in California actually inject directly to her retina to stop hemorrhaging. I guess I'm here to see if maybe you have gotten used to it by now? Did it get any better? Did it get worse?įrom the experiences that my mom went through, I would recommend that you see a retina specialist. But God! I'm only 31! I'm only slightly far sighted with a hint of astigmatism. I've also been to the doctor, two retina specialists who have calmed down my fears of retinal detachment. I stopped reading physical books and only read now on night mode in my ipad. When I edit images on my computer they are there floating away and annoying the heck out of me.
I avoid looking at the sky, I dread the snowfall, even looking at my ceiling sucks. These damn floaters that suddenly make looking at beautiful things a bit nightmareish. I am going through the exact same experience right now. Hello! I wonder if you will ever see this since it's been years since anyone responded to this thread. I've been looking at the same floater since I was 12. I have floaters but they don't ruin my life, just got used to them. People still think its all in our head, I doubt so many people would hang out on a community if floaters were just in their head.
there are many floater sufferers who hang out at, your presence will be welcomed. It will be really really helpful for me to know your techniques about dealing with floater filled snow globe like eyes. dont know if it is worth it.ĭo any of you people have similar eye floaters that ruin your experience? If yes, Id like to know how you deal with floaters and how you still have kept up your passion for photography. I am considering vitrectomy but risks are quite high: cataracts, retinal detachment. Photography was my passion and now it seems hard to get back to it. In short I am depressed because I cannot enjoy my life anymore. Its been months now since I went out to do some photography. I have stopped enjoying going out in nature, looking at white clouds, white snowy mountains, lying in meadows, looking at the ocean, cuz these buggers are always there to let me know of my aging eyes. In addition these floaters distort light when they come into my central vision axis. I am always aware of their existence because whether it is black background or a dim lighted room, they are always there. My new floaters are not that innocent, these damn black cobwebs, tube worms, specks, blots, flies, float around in my vision whenever I move my eyes. When people say they have had floaters but they can ignore them, I believe these are the floaters they are talking about. Actually I could see them only when I wanted to, otherwise I'd never know that they are in my vision. And hence these floaters.Īs a child I always had floaters, which were very easy to ignore. I am near sighted so my eyes aged earlier compared to people who have normal eyes. And have told me the same crap "live with them." Sort of part of aging. I have gone to 3 retinal specialists, they have ruled out any eye disease and associated floaters with vitreous syneresis/liquefaction. Till now.Ĭouple of months ago, I have developed moderate eye floaters in both my eyes. I have been really enjoying taking photographs of nature's intricate details and architecture. Ive been doing nature and landscape photography for last 3-4 years.
