Anyone experienced in matters of the EYE?...

[Trigger]

Just lately there's been like a little floating black dot type things that seems to be floating across my vision in my left eye...

Anyone know what it could be/mean?...

Am I on my last legs?

Sounds like a floater... my other half has them. I understand it is caused by a loose bit of tissue in the eye (would be useful if somebody could confirm this, the girlfriend is hardly the most scientific).

There isn't much that can be done if it is floaters. If its any consolation, you get used to them.

Go and get an optician look at it to be double-sure though - your eyes are worth looking after.

I had that for a bit, I'd get a sight test if I was you, only a score up Specsavers. My mince pies are f***ed, which is worrying, as I'm only 16.

I thought floaters came from the other end!

If you focus on an object, does the "floater" continue to move around?

It's not always there, it just seems to occassionally float across the left eye in a nose to ear direction... Seems to happen mostly when looking at a computer screen!

You know what they say about people with dodgy eyes.

Hmm. The reason I asked is because I get the exact same thing.

I can never focus on the feckin thing, it moves when I try and look at it (if you can look at something that's in your eye).

 

[Trufflehound]

Does it look anything like this?

 

[mr sheen]

sounds like eye AIDS to me. And not the good sort.

I've had a couple of floaters for years. No problem whatsoever. They just float. Thinking about it, I'm not sure I've seen mine lately so perhaps they eventually go. . .

The other day, though, I had a weirder experience. Was driving along, minding my own business, when suddenly I could see two jagged lines in my eye, meeting at a right angle, that kept flashing for about ten minutes, just off my line of focus. Then they just went away.

Have you tried cleaning your glasses ?

haha now then fella, long time no hear. Hope the family is good!

Anyway, I too get this and when I try to focus on it tends to not let me look at it and moves to the outside of my eye?? Weird

Maybe there really are things floating just to the left of your head.

Happens to most people from time to time.

If its near enough constant, could be a detached retina, get it checked out asap.

 

[Don Quixote]

You better go to the opticians, you could have a detached retina for all you know.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

At least it's not your japs eye I suppose, if thats any consolation.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I don't think they go away as such, just less likely to be noticed when it is dark etc. Your brain can also 'edit' them out after a while.

Expect to see them more and more as the Summer hits and the sun shines.

I get LOADS. Little things which look like bacteria. I have one which is shaped like a massive BANANA.

When they appeared the docs thought I may have a detached retina and rushed me to opticians. It turned out they were just floaters (bits of tissue floating in the gel). The bit you see is their shadow.

Yay, I'm now officially an EYE MENTALIST then, whoopee!
