Yeah, wish I knew that before my major panic attack thinking I was going blind... I've had floaters since I was a teenager so you don't necessarily get them because of aging, could be something in my diet or environment but man, that first time seeing them was scary for me. Another one is when I was looking up at the bright sky and seeing my blood flowing through my eye was another one that freaked me out. It's hard to describe if you've never noticed it but its like looking at a sky colored bowl of slightly transparent tiny worms going in all directions in tiny arcs and pulsing with your heart beat, I've had a lot of body related panic attacks in my life to the point I think I'm part chihuahua

​@@Mikej1592 Mike, I can empathize. I started having floaters and visual snow in 6th grade and was convinced I was going blind. The ophthalmologist I saw said it was nothing and really did not explain what it was. I was not reassured and it was not until my teens that I really understood what was going on. Floaters exacerbate and improve in cycles. After a noticeably bad exacerbation, I saw another ophthalmologist. This new ophthalmologist took the time to explain what was going on and why it was not particularly concerning. So much of my childhood anxiety could have been relieved if the first doctor would have simply done his job better.

For everyone who has eye floaters and are currently in panic: keep on reading. I first encountered floaters when I was about 19 but somehow they moved out of my field of vision, then at 27 I suddenly had a bunch of them. At that time I also had bad anxiety, stress etc and I couldn’t stop looking for the floaters that it became a daily obsession. But: I overcame it. It WILL get better! Try to find the core of where the anxiety comes from, maybe with a little more help like therapy or someone you trust to talk to. Strangely, I still have floaters but I barely notice them because I’m not scared of them anymore. The mind can be a powerful ally or your biggest enemy. If I can do it, you can do it too!

Think of it as a warning sign an organ is failing. 1. Stop eating sugar forever 2. Don’t eat processed foods & carbs 3. Intermittent fasting every day 4. Cold Shower (Adrenals & Vascular System) 5. Exercise and deep breathing 6. Eat high organic food. There is no pill or instant cure. It took me 3 years to fully see clearly. It’s a long journey but worth it.

For clarity of everybody watching this, do not confuse floaters with those little translucent dots moving in random directions when you look at the blue sky. This is called the "Blue field entoptic phenomenon" and is a normal condition of the eye caused by white cells moving with the blood stream in front on the retina. Everybody experiences this. Floaters, on the other hand, are an abnormal condition of the eye with very different causes, as the video explained.

I just had a PVD in my left eye 3 weeks ago. Experienced all the symptoms in this video except the "vision loss". Went to two specialists and they confirmed a small tear at the retina as there was a small hemorrhage. Prognosis was "weeks to months" for it to clear up which is dependant on my immune system function and the settling of the "floaters. I'm happy to report I have no more "flashes" and the "floaters" for the most part have dissolved and settled.

These are medical matters which have a long term effect on your health and well being. It's a good idea not to do a self-diagnosis on the basis of one KZread video.

100% right, everytime I'm tired/stressed or my eyes are strained the floaters tend to worsen and appear. I'm 25 aswell and I seemed to have gotten mine in my right eye 2/3years ago one day while working outside. Staying hydrated really helps, also having to concentrate/focus on other things/tasks can lessen the visibility iv found aswell. Still unsure if there's any cure to them but heard some people say that a change of diet such as broccoli and chicken with only water for 1-2 months has mitigated the amount of floaters substantially.

great vid mate, can't wait for next upload!

I remember my very first dark spot at age 19, followed by the clear wormy looking thing, it seemed like they all came on quickly. The most detailed cluster is like, I would call it a little tiny dot with a circle around it. I've had those float around all my life. But never a darker permanent multiple line of them. I spent a few days panicking thinking I was going blind or something.. But after educating myself on eye floaters, I pretty much adapted to the new normal quickly knowing it's no threat to my overall vision.. Now at 44 there isn't any anywhere in my line of sight where there is a void of eye floaters. my eyes are full of them, not to mention im getting near sighted now. And I'm like, meh..

I got these in my right eye about a year after cataract surgery. I went to the surgeon and he had me look into a lazer and he took aim at each and smacked them with the lazer (cost me about $400. I could actually see the strings of things falling like a little line of balls falling straight down, each time he zapped it, about 10 flashes.) Completely painless, and just odd to watch. When he finished, all the floaters were gone. The old way to deal with this (and they still do this if it's super bad), is to put you to sleep, suck all the fluid out of the eyeball and replace it. Thank god for lazers, which makes it a 10 minute fix as opposed to an overnight big deal.

So he said it was no problem, took me to a room down the hall where I sat in a chair and looked through a thing that seemed like a regular eye exam facepiece. My eyes were dilated and numbed, so he put the scope right on the eye and located each strand (looked like pieces of DNA, from my point of view). He zapped them with a lazer, and they broke up and fell. I think the pieces just settle down in the eye and are no longer in the line of vision.

So you should see a retina specialist, as indicated in this video this could cause problems with tears in the retina, and a complete detachment is absolutely something that needs to be treated immediately, as tears overtime can cause permanent damage to your vision, so my advice is see a retina specialist today, immediately schedule a visit to see your eye doctor, and tell them what you’re experiencing, and anyone over the age of 50, should be getting an annual eye exam by an ophthalmologist at least once a year! I had a young medical student at a teaching college catch my issue, and alerted his professor who told me that I needed to see a specialist, and I did, and the specialist told me that I had tiny tears in my retina, and that he needed to do surgery, and I was so shocked, because I’ve never heard anything like this happening to anyone, in fact I was so shocked, I put it off for a whole year, but luckily circumstances being what they were, got me the treatment I needed, and I went into surgery to repair my retina, looking back it probably saved my sight in that eye! Cheers!

In bright light it’s easier to notice them. The effect is actually pretty similar to when you adjust the aperture of a camera. At large apertures, dust and other particles on the lens or sensor are out of focus and not visible. However, as you stop down the aperture, dust and other contaminants become more visible. Likewise, when the Iris is wide open (such as a darkened room), floaters are out of focus and much blurrier, lending them to be less noticeable. When the iris is closed down in bright light, the floaters come into sharper focus.

I had one just like those black ones. I kept thinking my bangs were in my eyes but it was a very bad floater. The eye doctor said I would have to live with it the rest of my life. However, when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia they also tested my Vitamin D levels which were very low. When I started to supplement with that (high dose to start), K2 and Vitamin C. The floater went completely away. I wasn't taking it for that so that was happily surprise. At the time, those are the only things I had added. I didn't even start the Fibro med the doctor prescribed and actually the Vitamin D took down my allover pain so much that I never started it--too many side effects. I still am working on brain fog issues and fatigue but that's another diagnosis altogether. :(

As someone who's had multiple retinal detachments, the visual here of the 'shade' or 'curtain' is actually really accurate! In my experience, it can be semi-translucent and move with eye motion, like an oil spill on water. My vision also absolutely tanked even outside of that. If you get it checked out quick enough, it can absolutely be fixed! EDIT: Another thing, this was so long ago I don't remember but apparently I mentioned seeing "cheerios", or blood platelets. If anyone's feeling a bit hypochondriac after this video, the kind of floaters in this case are best described as a sudden 'shower', not just one or two.

Sudden increase in floaters is serious. Ones since birth are not, its usually leftover embryonic material in the vitreous jelly. There are procedures to remove it but the risk is usually not worth it, the surgery can cause detatchment

Had my floaters when I was about 13 or 14 years old. Was taken to a couple of opthalmologists with the 2nd one prescribing an eye ointment I applied at night before going to sleep with the assurance it would go away. Looking back now, I think it really was just to give me hope as a child, despite it being a false hope as the specialist would have very well known it could not be cured.

I didn’t act fast enough when I saw the pepper floaters and the shade coming down. Waited close to 2 weeks. Doctor put the buckle on the eye and i have full vision back. Just as I was feeling normal from the right eye recovery , the left eye suddenly had a big floater that I described as a Winshield wiper. It didn’t float but it moved side to side like a wiper. Two days later I saw small pepper. Went to Wills Eye the next day and they said it was a small tear so they used the laser and welded it closed. 3 days later I saw a shade. Went back to hospital and they did the buckle that night. I still have a slight loss of vision at the top of my eye. They said it’s scar tissue that I will always see. Other than that good vision. The only downside to getting the buckle is my cataracts have increased extremely fast and I will need surgery for them in the next 6 months. They weren’t bad at all before surgery but they told me they would increase faster. Also my eyeglass prescription has doubled which they also said would happen. I was a -6.00 I’m now -13.00.

@@chibbycheeks6331 my flashes look like small pinpoints of light. A super bright, very small flash normally in my periphery but sometimes right in the middle of my vision. I’m 34 and I’ve had them as long as I can remember.

Insane that this popped up on my feed.

God i had thought i was the only one that had this... such a relief knowing since this video just randomly popped up

The video showed up randomly in my recommended too. I'm glad it did.

I get them sometimes, always found them to be a very small group of circles that kinda look like bubbles but are more a circle than a sphere.

Quite interesting video. I can’t believe this appeared on my timeline today. I have seen floaters since many years but never knew what they are. But this morning out of the blue I was curious to know more. Funnily I was also trying to catch a floater!
