How many people see floaters? "eye related"

Ever sence i was a kid i could see these glassy and transparent things floating around in my eyes, Especially when i looked through glass or watched tv and they would drift around as i moved my eyes, and even when i wasn't moving my eyes they would float by. It's really annoying but i didnt know what the hell they were untill i ran across this... http://www.allaboutvision.com/condition ... floats.htm

I guess its common tho, Does anybody here have floaters? Do they drive you crazy when your on long car rides or when you get high?

I think most people get them...don't bother me.

me too since i was a kid. its all good i think everyone gets em

I have them no.... real bother though

I see them occasionally or if I focus on them but it doesn't really bother me for the most part really.

I've never noticed any, might get them later in life.

Drink some V8.To be Honest,If I were to focus closely to a blue sky,I see lots of Microscopic lights in the space I'm focusing on.I don't know what there called,But there everywhere.

i tend to notice them when its bright in the room, or i am outside, but i just lose attention to them eventually. Doesn't bother me to much.. i used to get them a lot more when i was a kid.

Everyonce in a while after being outside on a really sunny day I will get them.

What I get that trips me the fuck out is these thin black horizontal lines that move rapidly - Only happens for a second or so every once in a while. The only way I can explain it - It is like the Matrix movies when the Matrix glitches.

The other thing is on dark nights I see little lights streak like crazy.

I have never taken any hard drugs - I dont even take over the counter pills - no head injuries.

I get them all the time aswell. I think they are permanent because I've had the same floating peices of trasparent lent since I was little, It doesn't bother me when I dont think about.

Someone also mentioned those little tiny sparks shooting in the sky. I see those alot too, especially when I'm high.

I think Stewie Griffin said it best when he said "oh little squiggly line in the corner of my eye. Why only when i ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye? Oh squiggly line it's alright, You are forgiven.
Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid, i see you lurking there in the periphery of my vision, but when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy squiggly line?"

maybe it's your eyes focusing on the cells above the lense of your eye?

maybe there's a magnification possible when cells are THAT close to the lense of your eye.

ever seen the yellow lemon with black background... ?

is that the same, and them bubbles that are transparent ? hmm yeah they suck but isnt it funny you cant catch up with it ^^

hah

pisses me off when i get it, get it very often...

i notice them when i look at a white piece of paper in bright ass sun!! but to me they look like they're jumping all around. like worms...that's trippy, good discussion!!

The only time I get floaters is when I switch off the light when I go to bed or close my eyes after looking at something bright...think they're actually something else like "ghost images" or something...
