I have always seen the little transparent "glass noodles" floaters for as long as I can remember. Sometimes they're very noticeable, sometimes I can't see them at all. Interesting.

I am able to ignore them, or see them when I want. Weirdly, I am near sighted, but the 'noodles' are in perfect focus. I can see them best when looking at a blank piece of paper or looking at the sky. They aren't shadows but refract the light just like glass would.

The vitreous makes the most sense; especially with the presentation of gray/grey eyes since there's such an excess of collagen. It would be interesting to see if there's a possibility to do an age-related study on people of multiple age groups of different eye-colors for floaters, because I'd be willing to put money on blue-eye/lightest eyed individuals having a majority of them due to the collagen breaking down in sunlight exposure since it's.. literally what breaks down collagen in general, and what makes up the majority of the eye color in us lighter eyed folks. It would also make a lot more sense to explain those random flecks and flakes that appear and disappear in the iris on a nearly daily basis that just darken and then lighten up again

I am 27 now and I always had digital snow syndrome, not bothered me whatsoever. My eyes are grayish-blue, my vision is -1 and I got my floaters one year ago. Interesting that before I got my first floater, literally, I noticed blue entoptic phenomena. Later on I also noticed when, sometimes, I look into the sky I see grey vortex in the middle of my vision. And sometimes I might see flashes before I fall asleep. I check with retina specialist every 6 month and so far my retina is healthy, but it still baffles me why I see those. As a solution and protection for my eyes I wear sunglasses and they really help to filter out my floaters, pretty much not noticeable.

Hi I also seen the flashes It take a while to find the culprit, LED's or other high frequency lights. I changed the lights or add a normal non flashing light source to the mix and I stop seeing flashes. (low to mid quality screens also chause it) I can also see the different flashing colors if I slightly move my head and a little close my Eyes, giving a sence of wrongness, extremely disturbing at night ride. Modern energy efficient lights are quiet uncomfortale to be around, for me at lest. @@jackvermont88

Hmmm, I had to look it up. I guess I've always had visual snow, but I don't find it distracting often. It's just constant visual noise to filter out passively. I probably don't count among those with the "disorder" since it is usually very apparent to me the difference between the visual snow noise and what I'm actually looking at. Only if I am very tired or overheated does it get to be a distraction.

I've had a couple floaters permanently since I was a kid and I got a reflected laser strike from an early optical disc player (pro tip -- don't get curious and bypass the safety on the cover). For the most part, I don't even notice it any more unless I'm looking for it. On the other hand (or eye), a few years ago I was in a minor auto accident and a day or two afterwards, I experienced a retinal tear. It took over a year for the floaters to subside from that one -- it was like looking through a piece of lace.

I work with a high power, industrial Nd:YAG (10 kW peak) and am exposed to limited arc flash (assumed, even with PPE, some UV radiation) daily and have always suffered from heavy floaters. I guess I should be worried that since becoming an incidental LASER technician I have noticed a marked reduction in floaters and acute myopia. Tack on a touch of ocular migraines, I think it's about time I find a good Ophthalmologist.

I developed floaters from a physically traumatic experience (notably nothing to do with my eye or upper body at all, but the pain was so intense my head felt like it was going to explode). This happened when I was about 16 or 17 years old and it scared the living daylights out of me when I noticed them at first - which was several weeks later out in the sunshine. Just thought that was worth mentioning as a possible cause. I went to the optometrist and they basically said some kinda of tear had occurred, but unless the numbers of floaters dramatically increased (signifying a possible retina detachment) there was little to worry about. So I've had them now for around 15 years and most of the time I don't even notice them. When it's very bright and looking at white surfaces or the sky are ideal conditions for seeing them. Every time I do notice them I check them out, but thankfully they also seem to be basically the same. There's a chance this could change in the future which is frightening, but a reminder we need to stay vigilant with our health.

Sweet, now I know. I thought it was just me. I used to play around with it. You know, looking around to make it shift and end up in another spot. I could never understand what the hell it could possibly be that was "on" my eye that would never come off and move in such a fashion. The fact that it wasn't fixed at a certain spot was very odd to me, as it just lagged behind my eyes movements. I haven't seen it in a looong time, though. I don't know if it's disappeared for good or if it's just "floating away" in another area where it doesn't cause the shadow to register.

Hi Antonio, thanks for the video. I have had eight large "glass noodle"-like floaters in my right eye for the past two years after getting laser eye surgery. They are extremely annoying. While I can still technically see out of my right eye, it is very unreliable and I often have to rely completely on my left eye. I'm not sure if the treatments discussed in this video would be worthwhile for me.

I don’t have the vitreous in my right eye, but I still have it in my left eye. I had it removed, not because of floaters, but because it had to be done sis part of a clinical trial that’s going on for my eye condition. In case you’re wondering my eye condition is called Achromatopsia. It is a genetic condition that affects many different parts of my vision. I have reduced visual acuity, I think it’s somewhere around 20/250. My eyes are extremely sensitive to light, to the point I avoid changing the light bulbs in my house for as long as possible because the fresh bulb hurts my eyes like being in the sun does. I am also color blind, so I can tell you if something is lighter or darker, but not the color, if there isn’t enough contrast between 2 different colors they will look exactly the same. I mix up black & brown, green & blue, green & yellow, blue & purple, red & orange & pink, yellow & orange.

In my case it is really annoying because it renders the vision in my right eye very blurry. I was told it is normal and i was given prednisolone treatment. I have been living with this till date. Everytime i check it is the same story and treatment. I personally feel like it is worse coz my vision in my right eye is not the same after every prednisolone treatment. With my glasses it feels better. Just came across this video today. Great explanation. I should probably refer people when they ask me about my condition to this video coz i have to do a lot of explanation...lol

Hey doc, I went to few specialists in last 6 years but they don't detect anything abnormal but my floater count was rising rapidly and before last specialist it got so bad that in darkened room with only TV light I could see floaters everywhere, directly in line of sight and in peripheral vision. But specialist said it is fine. I helped myself with high dose of vitamin D (5000IU daily for 2 weeks) and I need to regularly take 1000-3000 IU daily so they don't come back. After maybe one month of not taking vit D they return but not as much as when it was worst. Few months ago I tried Euphrasia officinalis extract eyedrops and it got even better. My question is how those two things "remove" floaters and what origin is of them if eye specialists can't see them but they were making my life practically unbearable? And why they return after I stop taking those two things? Also in the past eye peptides Visoluten helped me but they are very expensive albeit they work fine for 4-5-6 months before floaters come back.

I was 3mos premature resulting in RLF from O2 damage in the incubator. I used to get my retina examined once a year when I was a kid but I haven't been for quite a while should I be doing that every year even now? I was recently diagnosed with diabetes a year ago, and glaucoma years before that. I'm now about 60 and I've never had a retinal detachment and have always hoped that I could do the vitreous replacement. Floaters have always been a huge problem for me, especially with driving. but I'm guessing all this means I'm probably not a candidate huh?

I had cataract surgery and developed floaters. They are like a piece (I call it my little ameba) of dark tissue. When I go outside, I see the dark image and it looks like it's dragging a bag of circles behind it. This is more noticeable when I'm outside. The other eye popped up one while I was reading. It's been more of a problem. One night it was like type of film and I couldn't get it to move out of the way, so I put a couple drops of moisturizing eye drops in it and went to bed. It was better the next day. They are very annoying if I can't get them to move. My glasses don't do much for me either. They tell me it's the right prescription but I can't wear them much.

I seen what looks like virus strands..moving around in my eye..that was past ...now I see shadows moving ..which make me crazy ...and I see fractals on occasion in my peripheral vision ..only happened a few times but that's really scary and frustrating since I deal with light and shadow in my work..it gets confusing and I have to stop.

I've had one specific floater that looks like its moving into itself for a long time. Is that still a floater or something else? (I can only very rarely see it and for brief periods of time)

When I was younger I would always try to explain this to my mother, that when I looked at the sky and at my papers I would see things floating around. When I got a little older I just assumed it was me seeing bactiria floating around on the surface of my eye.

You realize now that you can not see bacteria with the naked eye right? That would make them macroscopic rather than microscopic. I had these when I was about ten. I thought I had scratched my lens until I was a little older.

I have a floater on my left eye. I'm not sure if I've gotten it during one of my birthdays back then, or it had always been there in the first place. I was waiting for the cake my parents promised and thought it was a good idea to stare at the sun for a little bit too long. I'm not bothered by it to this day, even, I find it more entertaining than the people around me. So, you guys need a pc to play Osu?

If you use terms like “photons that the eye draws in” some people may take it literally. Be careful how you express yourself.

I have for as long as l can remember seen what l now know to be a floater. But only when l open my eyes swimming underwater. I have never seen them out of water. Is this possibly something else cause l think it's quite weird. I am fascinated by your videos by the way.

Stem cells in your eyeballs. I'm just kidding, but I wonder if one day there would be a procedure like that which restores or heals that part of the eye instead of just removing stuff.
