Cobweb floater

Hi, has anyone else experienced a cobweb-like floater ? I noticed a few connected dots floating in my vision last night, and today these have developed into a cobweb semi-circle. I have had an occasional flash of light when I move my eye. I had a farmicab injection 3 wees ago but am not sure if that is connected. I have been looking on reliable websites which say it’s quite common & not to worry. I would appreciate advice . Many thanks

Hi Knitcat. I found this info (link below) although it may be the one you've already seen. I also wonder if it may be an optical migraine - I seem to go through periods of getting these and then they go away for several months (although those are usually zig-zags in half-circle shape with occasional flashing lights). It may be just as well to get it checked at your opticians to put your mind at ease. Good luck.

Hi, springcross,

Thank you very much for replying, it is reassuring to hear from other people. Yes, I had seen that link. I have also had ‘kaleidoscope’ shapes from time to time but didn’t know why! I’m thinking now that I’ll wait to see how it is on Monday to decide whether to contact the hospital.

Thanks again x
