Question

i have becme this about 3 months

Answer 1

yup...they are floaters. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. They come about due to vitreous detachment. Because they are inside your eye, they move with your eyes when you try to see them. You may also see flashes of light. These flashes occur more often in older people as the vitreous humor thickens and tugs on the light-sensitive retina.

Generally they are harmless and you may see more of them with age. However, the retina can tear if the shrinking vitreous gel pulls away from the wall of the eye. This sometimes causes a small amount of bleeding in the eye that may appear as new floaters.

A torn retina is always a serious problem, since it can lead to a retinal detachment. You should see your ophthalmologist as soon as possible if:

1) you see a lot of new floater appear suddenly;
2) you see sudden flashes of light.

If you notice other symptoms, like the loss of side vision, you should see your ophthalmologist immediately.

Hope that helps.

It sounds like floaters. It is just irritating debris that floats across your field of vision. If it is excessive you might want to see an ophthalmologist for an eye check.
It could also be silent migraines. Basically a migraine without the debilitating headache. You may eventually get the headaches but I went for years with just the silent type. Annoying but not dangerous.

Answer 4

You may have floaters in your eyes. My doctor said that is what I have. I have small black specks that move across my field of vision, he told me that they were nothing to worry about.

If it really bothers you I would suggest that you get an eye exam. It will help you to know if there is any thing else wrong with your eyes. Also if it is floaters then you will know what they are, you will feel better about it. I have learned to just ignore them for the most part.
