is it just me...

[BlanketTime1]

when i see a spot out of the corner of my eye, i wonder, "am i losing vision, is it a floater or is it a fly?" is it just me? dunno, it occurred to me after a night of insomnia.😛

No it's not just you, I have floaters and sometimes think I've seen a 🕷️spider. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

[BlanketTime1 in reply to Kit10]

i get this, too! when i awake i see floating spiders and roaches! it's so gross.

[kycmary]

My Dr. said it's a floater nothing to worry about until it gets bigger or starts bothering my ability to see then it's called a cataract. Hope this helps I have what looks like a small piece of thread at the edge of my R. eye.

i have one off and on ...going to ask the doctor again ...

[BlanketTime1 in reply to twooldcrows]

mine is always in my right eye. i'm always looking around to see what it is. it does help that i have cats b/c if there's a bug, they chase it down and kill it.😸

I've had that BlanketTime1 it went away on it's own. did you ever try eye yoga? you move your eyes all around like the numbers on a clock. it keeps them from getting stiff and cataracts. Try it and tell me what you think!

[BlanketTime1 in reply to Sandydemop]

interesting, i'm going to try it.😀

Good luck

or a stroke...nah, I'm with you 🤣

[BlanketTime1 in reply to kdali]

i hope not! my immediate thought was, "i'm too young for that!" but then, i did have a hip replacement 3 years ago. 😛

Probably wouldn't hurt to have good eye exam before dismissing. Take care

[BlanketTime1 in reply to Brindisi1]

yes, thx. i had one when it first started and again last year. they can't see anything wrong actually in my eye.

[mrsmike9]

I have had ginormous floaters for a long time. I even have the personal phone number to my eye doctor as he's nervous one will attach to my retina. He probably has changed numbers by now as he gave it to me, probably 25 years ago!

[BlanketTime1 in reply to mrsmike9]

that's good in a way; it means your eyes haven't gotten too bad.

[mrsmike9 in reply to BlanketTime1]

Except for the cataract in my right eye now!

[BlanketTime1 in reply to mrsmike9]

sorry. if it helps, my mum had both her eyes done for cataracts and it went really well.
