Others dealing with collagen "eye floaters?"

• Trimmer36

  Recently started seeing eye floaters at age 68. Checked it out with my optometrist and thankfully no retina tears etc.
  Anyone else have them? Do they eventually go away? Not much in the way of treatment offered.
  Right now I have it in just one eye. Very distracting, as it looks like a "daddy longlegs" spider crawling across my glasses.

  After I had lasic done, I had the "floaters" and it was fucked up like you're saying (like little bugs) that went away after about 2 or 3 months

  I've had floaters for as long as I remember - usually easier to see on a clear day with a blue sky, and you have to be looking for them. I never questioned it, just figured it was dead cells on my eyeball. Didn't know until recently they are floating inside the eyeball. I've never had problems with them, and I typically never see them unless I decide to look for them - they're just there

  Floaters may go away. If the vitreous in your eye becomes more liquid they might float out of the line of sight. If you still see it in a couple of weeks your probably stuck with it. No real treatment. You can laser them but instead of one large floater you'll have a lot of smaller ones. Usually its hard to find someone to do it because there is some risk of irritating your eye internally. Hope they float out of your line of vision.
