Floaters occur in loads of normal people. Tend to be noticed more when no other visual reference (white clouds, clear blue sky) Worrying symptoms are showers of floaters which are going worse, flashes which persist mainly in night conditions (twinkling lights usually) and a sensation of a curtain being pulled over the field of vision. Most floaters become less prominent in time. I have them in both eyes. If you get any of the worrying symtoms, get down to an Eye Casualty Dept at the hospital. Detached retinas occur more frequently in myopes (short sighted - need specs for distance but easily read for near) Caught early they have good outlook from surgery
