Something that i've noticed for many years
now (i'm 38) is that not only do I get
what look like tiny hairs or fibers slowly
drifting down my eyeballs but I can also
see what appear to be living things
darting about at high speed. It's a lot
like when you watch a film and you see
bacteria through a microscope, swimming in
a jerky random fashion. Is it just me or
am I really seeing living things on my
eyeball?

I've had those since I was a kid. I am
now 24. My eye doctor told me what it was
when I was young, I don't remember the
details now but it is nothing to worry
about. Alot of people have them and don't
realize. You don't think about it until
you notice it and then it is there all the
time....But don't worry about it!

I get that too, I have a feeling most
people do. It really shows up when I look
into the sky like clear little
microorganisms, sometimes gray, moving
around.

I have the same thing and one of the spots
it almost perfectly in the center of my
right eye so I see it almost all the time
(using a computer, driving during the day
time, watching tv) and it's really
annoying. My dad said it was just stuff
floating around inside my eye but the
spots are always in the exact same place.
Since the big spot that I notice all the
time is right in the middle of my right
eye, if I focus on a point on a wall or
something, that translucent dust partical
will sit still and will always be in the
exact same place. Is it a scratch on the
surface of the eye, or a blood vesel?
what is this thing it's driving me crazy?
I've also noticed (mainly durring the
daytime) these really fast bright
particals shooting around like little
electrons or something.

Those are just floaters. I have them
too. When I look into the sky, or on a
white wall, it looks like fireworks.
They just annoye me now.

All the strings and floaters that you see
are from your vitreous fluid. If your
astigmatism is bad, usually the more
floaters you have since the fluid is
pulled off from the odd shape of your eye
(i think that is the easiest explanation).
Anyway, the more the fluid breaks off and
the more floaters or if your floaters
suddenly change is when you should notify
your opthma since that could mean you have
a hole/tear in your retina.
I have had several retina detachments, my
vitreous fluid has been removed so I have
very few floaters. I miss seeing those
strange things now. I know exactly how
many floaters in each eye I have now
whereas before I guessed it was dozens or
hundreds.
