i have eye floaters in my eyes. I've been to the optometrist but she tells me its from stress, reading a lot. I don't read and i don't think i stress a lot. What else can cause eye floaters?

I went through a time in my 30s when my floaters became a huge annoyance because I work on the computer a lot.
My lil floaters are worse after working on the computer because working on the computer makes my eyes focus "wrongly" on other things when I'm off the computer... and the floaters are what my eye chooses to focus on! My drive home from work is the worst!
I have learned not to concentrate on the floaters... it's tough and it took a lot of time. You have to use cognitive therapy to get yourself to stop. Learn to think yourself out of concentrating on them.
I see them still but they don't bother me at all. It was interesting to read on here that someone was told they get more pronounced with age. I was not told that but it's good to know. I think I'll stop getting older now. =)

Matador deserves a 'thumbs up' for a very good answer. Vitreous floaters are not related to diabetes and they appear normally. They are not removed unless they cause a serious problem with vision. At age 25 background retinopaty is indeed a serious concern. You should be followed at least yearly by your ophthalmologist. Strict control of glucose has been shown to delay the progression of retinopathy (see the DCCT trial) but diabetes and its cardiovascular complications are progressive even when the glucose is well controlled (see the long-term follow-up to DCCT). If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and happiness and in all things may God bless. JR

I also have floaters. My opthalmologist said they are shadows from the vitreous humor, which is the clear jelly like substance in your eye. You don't say how old you are, but as we get older, the shadows can become more pronounced. Mine started being an issue in my twenties. They're harmless, but can drive you nuts.
