What are the translucent bubble-like shapes that seem to float around on the surface of my eyes on sunny days?

Question

They're most noticable on bright sunny days, but they're always in my vision.
They're definitely physical objects and not my imagination because they're affected by gravity (They sink down when my eyes are still and then bounce back up when I move my eyes).
You do know what I'm talking about, right?
What are those things?
I hope I'm not the only person who sees those things.

Hey there! Do they look like this?

Well then you have floaters!!! Many people get them!
I see floaters as well... I notice them most often when I look at the sky or a plain background. Its very normal for people that are nearsighted or people in their adulthood to see them.
Here is some more info on them:
"Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.

Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye."

Floaters are USUALLY quite normal and can accompany a headache.
If the following happens then the floaters could indicate a problem:
"If you suddenly see new floaters, or eye floaters accompanied by flashes of light or peripheral vision loss, it could indicate serious conditions such as diabetic retinopathy; vascular abnormalities such as retinal hemorrhages or carotid artery disease, or the beginning of a retinal detachment. 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. You should see your eye doctor immediately"

They can be annoying but best thing to do is ignore them and they go away :)

Hope that helps a bit hun :)

I'm 53 and had developed eye floaters about 4 or 5 years ago. The doctors told me that they're harmless, but whoever has had them knows how annoying they are. They also said that I could have them "burned off" with laser surgery, but there was no way I was going to "burn" anything off my eyes! So I kind of accepted that my floaters were there to stay.

Then I came across this system, and seeing that you were offering a full money back guarantee, I figured I had nothing to lose well I was wrong - I did lose my floaters!! Oh my god I still can't believe my floaters are gone and my vision is as pristine as it was 5 years ago!

Getting rid of eye floaters without the high costs & dangers of laser treatments?

Answer 6

Sounds like floaters....most all of us have them. The vitreous is a jelly-like substance within the cavity of the eye and when light hits the little bubbles or fibrous clumps within it, it casts an observable reflection. These are generally harmless and can sometimes be annoying.

Answer 7

Floaters are usually dark shapes, not lights. This could be caused by a optic nerve problem, I WOULD SEE YOUR DOCTOR.

Answer 8

That's funny isn't it? I have experienced this as well...it's really weird! I don't know what causes it or why it's even there. But I definitely know what you're talking about.
