floaters are so crazy because you’ll turn to look at them and then you’ll decide “ok I’m done looking at them” and you’ll turn away and they’ll still be there

Made some new friends
I managed to get these shots because they glitched out after I killed them and stayed like that, so I knew what I had to do 😅

Floaters Question
"Question! I have a floater that will not leave me alone since May. It's very distracting. Anything I can do to get rid of it? Thanks!" @toast--ghost
Thanks for the question! Most importantly, if you experienced flashes of light, like camera flash or lightning around the time you got the floater or are still experiencing flashes of light, you should make an appointment to see an OMD (ophthalmologist) or OD for a dilated exam. Floaters are a natural part of aging and everyone will get a few, more for those with head trauma (car accident, sports ball to the head ect) but floaters with flashes of light can be a sign of retinal tear or retinal hole.
As for what you can do about them? Unfortunately, nearly nothing. If you have an absolutely huge floater that is blocking your vision, laser vitreolysis can be used to break the giant floater apart into several smaller floaters. This unblocks your vision but does not remove the floaters themselves. In my experience, there is a low success rate with this procedure. A vitrectomy is when some or all of the vitreous humor is removed. (yes, it's still called humor. silly). This procedure is typically reserved for vitreous hemorrhage, when it's most important to remove the leaking blood in the posterior chamber. This is a surgery involving opening the globe of the eye (rather than just a laser) which can lead to post-surgical cataracts.
Small floaters are typically left alone and the brain eventually learns to ignore them. They will be most obvious when: 1. you are thinking about them, 2. on a bright light colored field of vision (blank white computer screen/wall/paper or blue sky) Over time the floater should collapse on itself some, making it much smaller.
I am currently very aware of my own collection of floaters. 🙃

What I see
Subjectivism is mandatory. When I look, I don’t see the same as you – I can’t. I’m sure my brain processes the inputs in different ways, sparks different neuronal connections. But I’m also aware of the filters in the way of what I see.
My vision occupies a wide space. I’d say it probably covers a shape a bit like a cucumber on its side. I suspect that’s wider than most people’s because my eyes…
