Me and my doctor talked about floaters at my last visit! I noticed them for the first time about a year ago, and see them very rarely. I'm 43 so I'm assuming it's the vitreous floaters because I'm getting old LOL, or dust.
I really appreciate doctors and medical professionals who make videos. It's really helpful for people who don't have insurance and get gaslit and sent away when they try to go in to be seen.
Okay I actually have got rid of those dots by a lot. Just don't focus and force your brain to look at a point and ignore the dots. The more you do it the better your brain understands to ignore the dots and to get distracted.
Eye floaters are the worst! We are un 2019 and we have no safe treatment for them! It’s not possible to live with them! Many young people have floaters...
I know right! I did recently read about the benefits of eating Pineapple and how it helped improve peoples awareness of floaters...I think there needs more large scale studies on it but it was pretty interesting.
Kudos for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Franaar Spectacular Look Formula (google it)? It is a smashing one off product for curing eye floaters minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my BF after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
Dude I literally got so happy I almost cried watching this video. I've been to ER about eye related stuff numerous times and had the hardest time explaining it. They can never find anything. As soon as I saw that image flickering of the "Migraine with Aura" I literally felt sick knowing thats exactly what I see but excited because thats whats been happening to me since 2006. Wow I feel so relieved! Thank you.
@@mialopez8309 I would say it depends on the person. In my case, we found out that mine was happening from sinus pressure and sinusitis. I started taking Zyrtec and using NeilMed sinus rinse from Walgreens. If I keep on it few times a month, it stops happening completely. When I get it with a migraine, just have to wait to the migraine goes away. Good luck 👍🏾
I've had floaters since I was a kid and was told that it was normal. I'm only 38 now. Have been seeing an eye doctor since I was 7. Sow these have been in my files since then.
NickuSama I’ve just looked at the definition of hypnagogic and that’s not what I’m trying to explain. My thing happens when you’re awake and it’s pitch black but can still see faint patterns etc.
smrtysam it’s called visual snow, it’s a static-like visual aura. apparently its rare but maybe it isn’t and we don’t know because visual snow was barely recently started getting studied i think less than 3 years ago. I have it too by the way, for me i usually see, stars, random spots that aren’t floaters, almost looks like after image of looking at a light, after images from space around me and i also see flickering spots and a really bad case of blue entopic phenomenon (a LOT of cells floating around that look like shooting stars when looking at a bright blue sky or white surfaces) and photophobia. i also occasionally get ringing in my ears.
I think the visual snow thing fits better. Also when my eyes are closed it seems like there a blue flashing light outside making its way to me but there’s nothing.
I spoke to my opthalmologist about treatment for floaters suggesting zapping them with a laser and he was definitely against it. He said that disturbing the vitreous as a result of that procedure would almost certainly cause damage to the retina. And why don't floaters ever dissolve or go away?
My visual disturbances recently changed drastically which freaked me out. Saw my eye doctor who confirmed it was just my ocular migraines presenting differently and low blood pressure issues which cause my eyes to lose blood flow on occasion. I hate how so many things can affect vision that aren't directly linked to the eye, I have thought many times there was something wrong with my eye only to find out it was some other health thing causing it.
I developed floaters in both of my eyes aged 31. Have always had good vision and don't need glasses. Just woke up one day with quite a few floaters. Over the last 9yrs they have gotten slightly worse with more appearing. So I hate bright days now. 😟
I have ocular migraines without the migraine thankfully. You give a great visual of the strobing effect. I always try to explain to people what is happening to me and they just don't understand. When I get the strobing I tell people I can't see well, which is true. It becomes hard to read as the strobe effect disrupts my sight. Thankfully it goes away after 20-30 minutes and I just have to ride it out. Thanks for the explanations!!
Sheldon Summach, I have the same thing. Never have had even a small headache with my aura. I agree the picture of what it looks like is just what I see. I admit the first time was so scary but now when I get them, I try to close my eyes and let it run its course. 20 to 30 minutes and it’s gone. Glad to see your comment as most people have no idea what I’m talking about. 👍🏻👌🏻
I sometimes see bright white dots that float downwards until they disappear.Happens mainly when I'm in the shower or when I turn my head to look over my shoulder, but can randomly occur also.
I recently began experiencing floaters and tinnitus. They both have gotten worse over the year and the tinnitus is starting to have a very negative affect on my sleep. I have also experienced an increase in dizziness and fatigue. I am seeing black, blue and sometimes even red spots with occasional flashes of light in my peripheral vision. I also see visual snow (especially in darker areas). This has all left me very concerned and has took a big toll on my mental health. I recently set up an appointment for an MRI and I’m very worried that it could be something wrong with my brain.
I've also been experiencing floaters and tinnitus too. I've had floaters since I was a kid, but I only see them in the sky.. Now, I notice them everywhere and they're alot and also have a darker color. And my left eye is blurrier than my right eye. I'm only 15 and I'm scared. I wanna go to the doc but I know my parents won't let me, because they'll just say it's because of my phone.
I see spots because my house is insanely dusty. (Why we women love new furniture and high tech vacuums.) Direct sunlight and certain lights make me see spots, however, of a different kind, and spur some of the wurst migraines. I used to be told this was a sign of dehydration. Not a lack of water but a lack of actual hydration, which requires more than mere water. I love the information in your videos, thank you so much!
When i was at highschool i used to see a colorfull spots every time i walk to school & back and i thought it was funny cuz i'm otaku 😹 but now i'm 22 and only see white spots also hate going out in morning cuz it hurts my eyes and its not funny any more 💔
I came across the eye floaters treatment EyeFloatersCure45.blogspot.com while I was on the web. I am very glad and happy that I did, since by adhering to these instructions and suggestions, my floaters are now virtually gone (from time to time I do have a touch of them, but they are not irritating any longer) and now I don`t have to undergo another painful eye surgical procedure... not to mention the amount of money I saved.?
Good to see you here . My kid just complained that he sees purple oval shaped spot and it disappears within seconds and this happens in bright and twilight environments . The other day he said he got a reflection from the glass of a moving car or when light hits at a certain angle he sees rainbows and like this spot that goes away . He said it’s purple coloured and before that he said it was light green. His general eye exam is normal with good visual acuity and he is able to read without a thing . He gets it while concentrating tho occasionally not always. He was using the phone a lot he is 7 years old . I know I should have been more careful but that’s the way kids are these days. I have limited his screen time and the ophthalmologist gave tear film drops but it didn’t improve . Today he is planned for dilated eye check up. I don’t know please help I am a worried father
For me, when I was little, when I came in from bright outdoors, everything went green or I just couldn't see lol. Idk. Maybe bright lights make your eyes see green? Idk.
I got hit with a stick in my right eye and After treatment my eye was good, but on the next day I saw a black spot(not Fully black, little transparent) and it doesn't disappears it moves with my eye movement. Well i am able to cope with it easily.
I see one black tiny dot floating in my vision. It start 6 days ago and i still can see that. It happened after i come from cycling. What should i do? When it will gone?😕 i start to overthinking about it(
Would lifting weights be a reason for black dots floating around? I work hard on my breathing (to not hold my breath) and I don't lift that heavy. But I'm being told that lifting weights is one of the main and most common reason for eye disease.
I had a buddy who utilized this eye floaters therapy EyeFloatersCure45.blogspot.in with great results. People who want to get rid of the lines and dots in their perspective should get this remedy, since I also recommended this to my other buddies and the outcomes were perfect for them, as well. Just thought I`d provide this a thumbs up!

Thank You For Sharing Can You Please Explain To Me In The Morning In My Right Eye I Get Like A Cloudy Film In The Morning Can That Come From Dry Eyes What Can I Use To Clear My Eyes Up,
So many reasons your right eye may be cloudy. Sorry, but without an examination I wouldnt be able to help much. You may need to see your local eye doctor. Out of curiosity though...do you also sleep on your right side?
Doctor Eye Health Thank You So Very Much.Went Yesterday To See An Ophthalmologist It Comes From Dry Eyes 👀 I Have Severe Dry Eyes Getting Treatment For It.
Spending too much time on digital devices at near can contribute to eye strain, fatigue and headaches. Blue light from these screens can reduce melatonin release. Focusing on near objects for a prolonged amount of time is found to drive the development and worsening of nearsightedness.
Hi I started to look towards sun in the morning (7-8am) and in evening (4-5pm) and after a month i started to see very fine floaters and i see them when i go to a bright place ( looking towards sky and in sone open area) Help me to insure....
6:20 I had that stuff. It was a side effect from my stomach situation. I was eating very irregulary and very late in the night then went to sleep. I got some pills from a gastrocardiological doctor and in 2 weeks my 10 year old problem went away just like that. It can be amazing what your stomach can do to your head and eyes. My vision is kinda perfect, just some eye floaters because I was a stupid kid looking at bright light. (night light is amazing) For some reason I can intentionally create the migrane (without the aura)
@@7thwarriorgaming949 I had that migraine aura that was a side effect of a stomach problem. Floaters I still have as they are unrelated with my old problem
I’ve been seeing floaters for as long as I can remember. Every once in a while I’ll also see flashes of light. It’s normal to me. It’s definitely issues with my retina
Thanks,doc. I will have my ophthalmologist consultation next week. How to ask her if my floaters require treatment? How does she determine if my floaters don't affect my vision and my psychological well-being? What advice could you give me?
hello doc , i have subscribed to your channel and thanks for your great information i got eye floaters 3 months ago and my doc said that am okay and there is no retina detachment and its a normal thing happens to the eyes , my question is : does weight lifting or going to gym increase eye floater or there are any related relation between both ?
My friend gained positive results from this eye floaters remedy TreatEyeFloaters88.blogspot.com I am now recommending it to clients who complain that they keep viewing lines and dots in their vision, and they all keep stating success with no negative effects in any way. Just thought I`d provide this a thumbs up!?
2 years ago I went to the eye doctor and got a clean bill of health. Turn the light off to go to bed and as I turn my head had a huge flash of light for the very first time drove myself into the ER here in *Minnesota* and for the first time I had big cobwebs floating around and ended up having a CT scan and subsequent MRI. I told my ER physician about it and he suggested I go back to the eye doctor and told him what I saw in these videos and he said oh yeah I went to school with Dr Allen. We eventually even did an MRI and couldn't find anything that would be causing an increase in size and type of floaters. Sometimes I take a picture with my phone and send it to friends to make sure I'm not losing my mind.
I see these white dots going up or down my peripheral vision, it used to happen around once a week but now it happens like every hour or less. I don't know what this is
I have afterimage problem since 3 years ,even during reading book i feel the afterimage, Also when i see sky i see floaters like shining dots. Can u help me about that
I am Twenty six and at the beginning of this year I began observing dust-like particles anytime I looked at the sky or other light-colored bright lighting. Surgical treatment was the ideal option for eye floaters, but I didn’t want to go into surgery. Luckily, I found this eye floaters remedy EyeFloatersCure45.blogspot.com for these last 3 weeks and I`m now totally free of eye floaters!
White dots which you see in sky are basically WBC and its common for everyone. Regarding afterimage i see them too sometimes i see more sometimes less dont think too much. Go and visit eye doctor once just for your satisfaction.
2:01 I play softball, and when there’s a pop fly in the sun, after I look up I tend to see backwards J’s a lot or U’s that are either purple, yellow, or just some other color that I can’t recognize lol
I had something similar to this once, i went hiking and RAN from one hill to another, there were three of them, the third hill was so tall, when i tried to go up i suddenly collapsed and it looked like blueish black water ran down my eye, and i had trouble seeing even the sun and this was around 8 am.
Ok... I occasionally see BLUE splotches when I look left. It appears that whatever I’m looking at has one or two blue splotches of paint or dye on it. This is with no bright lights around. I have sarcoidosis. I’ve had my eyes checked and given a clean bill. Why do I occasionally see blue splotches?
I have had floaters since I was very young. I used to see eye "worms" moving in my vision. My mother had me tested for tropical parasites. But the specialist at the time (60 years) said it as probably floaters. Over the years it has got worse. Recently I have a huge floater in the central vision which is driving me crazy. Opthalmologist says not to worry. Grrrrr.
I wanted to ask you about a weird type of floaters I'm experiencing. Trying to make the long story short. I did have a PVD, took billberry extract and lutein, most of those floaters went away. Back in March, right after a cervical spine shot treatment, I started experiencing very fast advancing cataracts. Got the right eye operated on (I can see yay!) and the left is scheduled for July 18. BUT. Before I got the cataracts surgery, every time I would go outside on a sunny day, I would see like someone had thrown in front of my face a fistful of glitter. I thought it was the light reflecting on the cataracts (happened for the right eye with worse cataracts only). But, after having the surgery, the glitter is still there. Not as much as before, just few sparkles here and there. It only happens on bright sunny days. Oh and the PVD floaters in the right eye for some reason have diminished in size and slightly changed position so they're less bothersome. But, yes, what about that glitter in the sun thing?
Soooo I work in IT and noticed a big increase in eye floaters at the beginning of this year... Then, a few months later I lost my job and no longer had to stare at a computer screen for 10 hours a day and guess what? They're GONE! This makes no sense to me.. how could this be?
You see spots when you look at light? Like your staring at lights like in sunspots/afterimages? Either way, if you have not had an exam in awhile it may be best to ask for an exam just to be sure.
I have this one black spot in my left eye for about 2-3 weeks now. I usually can't look at it because it darts always. But I actually got a got look at it a few times today like my vision actually focused on it for 3 seconds until it drifts away on it's own
@@TASIAawful1hey like from past 1 -2 weeks I am seeing a black dot which is there for mileseconds then it's goes away even when I close my eyes sometimes only once or twice I see that thing and then it goes away like in April I had a checkup of my eyes like whole retina everything everything was fine i am a myopic person it was a regular checkup but after that i saw this thing its a serious situation or it will go away by its own ?
Will rubbing the eyes cause detachment? Sometimes my eyes itch and I rub it till the itch is gone. I try not to rub too hard but there have times where I have. Thought? Thanks.
It won't probably but it's not good for you..can cause transient vision blurring..and dry eyes.. whenever your eyes itch ..very slightly massage them or just wash with cold water.. if they are red and itchy you might wanna go see an ophthalmologist might be an infection or something for which you will need some eye drops
Can someone tell me what does it mean if I have a single small black/gray dot that suddenly appears and follows my vision for a while and then disappears when I close my eyes (or it goes away by it self)
I only see one little kinda transparent(I guess?) black dot. A few times inside but it shows it more when I'm outside in the daytime I'm a teen and its annoying I also have glasses
I have this thing where If i stare at a dark space or In dark There are many moving spots that keep moving the whole time and this doesn't go away. Does anyone have the same?
@@DoctorEyeHealth when i was 10yrs old, we were playing with my teenagers and slippers hit my eye and now i got my dark spot in my left eye and now im 23yrs old
I get a black dot with sparcle around it can see it sometimes when eyes closed the spot last like 1 second if I focuse on it it goes. Normally don't see it all the time I actually bearly see it, but get it in evening Normally only one at a time like 2mm in size.
khalil I had several extreme panic attacks a couple years ago and started having flashes floaters since then.. I only see the floaters outside usually tho or in really bright lighting. They are clear like.
Halo Doc, i am 26 and are from South-Africa, i started seeing eye floaters this year when i started working in America and with it came alot of headaches. I've seen an ophthalmologist and they did a full scan on my eyes and confirmed that there isn't anything to worry about. But after about 6 months i still have these floaters and they irritate the crap out of me, my brain just doesn't get used to it and it makes me so negative. I also start having blurry vision but it only happens at night, i can't look at a car's headlights that passes me on a highway because the light is just too sharp, i have to adjust the brightness on my phone to the minimum everyday as soon as it starts getting dark. I can't watch a movie on Netflix without getting eyes that are burning like crazy and blurry vision. What i don't understand is the fact that in the day when I'm outside and at work i can see perfect without any blurry vision but as soon as it gets dark it all starts again. I have no signs of diabetes that i can think of and i don't have flashes in my eyes, but i can see perfect in the day but at night I'm seeing double and can't focus on anything, my eyes are burning like crazy and these floaters just won't go away. I've been drinking all vitamins and omega 3 acids for almost 4 months now and i still don't see a difference. I am planning on seeing a medical doctor and an ophthalmologist as soon as i return to my home but i can really use your advice because I'm so negative and stressed overall about this. 8 months ago i passed an Aviation medical certificate with 20/15 vision and now all of a sudden i have eye problems which ive never had before. I'm busy with pilot training and dream of becoming an airline pilot some day. If you can give me any advice i will really really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.
Hey Kevin, Thanks for reaching out and watching. I think if your having that many issues its great that you are meeting with a family medical practitioner and a local ophthalmologist as you could have a lot more things going on. I'm impressed you are so driven for aviation...i think that would be super cool. (my grandfather flew b52s for the US Airforce). I wish I could be more help but without a thorough examination I can't offer any personal medical advice. However, I do wish you the best.
Hi, could you please share what your ophthalmologist found out and was there any treatment administered? I have the exact same problems, in addition to the eye floaters I get blurry/double vision after sunset and inflammation. Thanks in advance!
@@nazamshahpar i still have the floaters and on cloudy days they still irritate the crap out of me but I did get used to it and most of the time i don't really pay attention to it. The doctor did a full eye scan that day and luckily didn't find anything wrong but he did say that i have very dry eyes due to an allergic reaction because of air-conditioning in my vehicle or at my house. He also explain to me that it is normal and there are treatment for it but is gonna be expensive. I felt alot better knowing that I'm not becoming blind so give yourself time to get use to it.
@@corneliusschutte9053 Thank you so much for your kind reply. I'm planning to see a doctor myself in the coming weeks and hoping it isn't something too serious. I assume these symptoms (especially blurry vision after dark) did not cause any issues with for your pilot training / license?
@@nazamshahpar no sir! I was able to see 20/10 vission and the blurriness went away after a while. I think overall i was stressed out about my eyes and we all know what stress can do to your health. Try not to think about it too much. Tell yourself that you'll be okay. It's all in the mind.
I've been getting eye pains a few times sometime on the left eye & right, these eye pains last about 5-10 minutes. Now I have grey spots in my vision. I went & got my eye tested doctors said my eyes are fine. Do you now what I have & how to clear my eye pains & spots.
I see so many spots literally every where and if I close my eyes or stare at something I see big ones start to pop up but it goes away if I move my eye for like 5 seconds
Great Video Doctor. Quick question my flashes outside my left eye started 24 hours ago, can you clarify that this is a classic retina tear or detachment? Is it possible the PV will detach sparing the retina? Thank you
Enjoyed your presentation very much. I have an issue with black spots for the past few years. When I wake up and stare at a wall, I see what appears to be a cluster of ~30 very tiny black dots. At first I thought the wall was stained, but quickly realized that if I looked elsewhere (the ceiling, or other wall) that same cluster is now on the ceiling or wherever I look. Thankfully this phenomenon ceases after a half hour or so. I’m 80 years old, and this scares me. For the past 5 years or so it has not gotten worse, and I forget about it since it only happens when I just wake up. I forget to tell my ophthalmologist about it during my yearly exams. Do you know what causes it? Is it a cause for concern? Thank you kindly.
