Whoopee!
 

I got something to take my mind of the 'ol burning footsies.....FLOATERS!!! Okay....these babies really suck! I've had 'em for years, but not like the most recent break off from the inside of the eyeball. A big murky, spider like mass just rolling around my right eye. At night it isn't too bad, but wearing sunglasses indoors, people might think I'm a drug addict...well, I kinda am...but not that kind. This is really irritating and uncomfortable for driving and just viewing in the sun. Anyone else have to deal with these suckers? I've been told that they tend to fall to the bottom of the eye over time.....I sure hope so....

If there has been a SUDDEN INCREASE in the amound of floaters in the eye, this could be an indication that something is wrong with the eye. You need to see your eye doctor. It could be SERIOUS. I used to be an optician, and worked with patients all the time. This is something you REALLY NEED to see about. I wouldn't ignore this.

If there's alot of them, and they appeared all of a sudden, that's a danger signal. Get to the eye doctor. God bless. Peace, Lee

I agree with Leesa.

It is more of an issue with patients who are very nearsighted, but it can happen with anyone. If there are tiny black dots numerous in the floaters, that signals a bleed sometimes. Elevated blood pressure for a significant period, may cause a bleed too.

A sudden floater issue may precede a retinal tear. Bleeding may signal diabetes or macular degeneration. Elevated homocysteine levels in the blood may inflame blood vessels causing tiny clots in the retina. (treatment with B12, folate, and B6 may help lower homocysteine levels).

I'd go to an ophthamologist MD eye specialist and get checked out, just to be sure.
