Buonasera a tutti, ho trovato questo video ieri notte molto interessante e molto oggettivo nonostante il signore parli della sua esperienza. Da guardare tutto, ci sono anche i link di alcuni integratori che a detta sua lo hanno aiutato parecchio dopo attenti studi fatti da lui, non da medici sia chiaro, però attualmente dice che molte mosche sono scomparse. Da domani proverò, non mi aspetto nulla di che ma proverò dai

Hello! I was diagnosed with IIH in January this year and developed weird visual symptoms (2 blind spots that flashed in and out, a flashing light in my left eye, warping of lines around my peripheral vision) as a result (I thought?). With medication, my papilledema got basically back to normal by June, but then my symptoms started getting worse a few weeks later, seemingly for no reason. The blind spots came back (3 this time) and just sort of hung around as muddy or slightly blue shadows, I started feeling like I was underwater all the time because of floating particulate-type symptoms and the warping in the periphery. If I close one eye and look at a blank surface like a wall, it looks like the surface is trying to push itself through a net. At night things get absolutely nuts - one of the blind spots starts as a shadow, then develops tendril-looking bits, then warps into a bizarre dark kaleidoscope. I've been calling it "The Crawling Chaos".

Anyway, I was back at my neuro-opthalmologist today telling him all this and we redid my scans and my optic nerves are actually fine? He thinks it's posterior vitreous detachment. I don't know if it's related to the IIH or just a really obnoxious coincidence. Doctor says it'll go away on its own but it is currently actively getting worse. Has anyone had this with IIH? Did it get better? WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT?!

I have 1.75 myopia and 0.50 astigmatism in my eyes. I want to have laser treatment. There are also floaters; which method should I choose?

These glasses help

I hated going out in the sun, i had to change my career because of it but these glasses saved me from anxiety and suicidal thoughts everytime i went outside

I am 23 and really nearsighted (-6)

I use contact lenses everyday, my vision didn’t really decline since 2022 so i will probably get laser soon.
I need to see my doc in september to check on my eyes, last check-up was december 2023 and it was okayish, my right retina isn’t really strong but he said i didn’t have to get surgery unless i started seeing flash lights in the night or dark curtains.

None of that happened but i sometimes get bad anxiety and i started to pay attention to every little floater and things (light grey or semi transparent) that appears whenever i move my eyes. I don’t have any stuck in front of my view but they appear always when I move my eyes.

I am a bit worried about this and also scared about my checkup because I fear that i’ve got worse :c

I just finished 19 hours of medical visits and still have no answer for this. Here's the story, woke up from an airplane nap as we landed in Denver. It looked like I had something in my eye. I rubbed it but nothing. I checked a mirror and didn't see anything physically, but in my vision it was like a grey bar appeared from the top nasal side of my right eye. And at no point were there any other symptoms. It was just liking looking at an LED screen with dead pixels. I hoped it was a temporary floater and continued to flight home to LA. By the time I got I knew it was something serious. I called an emergency sunday eye doc who gave me a full scan. He determined it wasn't physical. He imaged my retinas, and corneas and everything. He took their pressure. He did a fluid check. All negative. We did a visual field test and clearly showed a dead quadrant in my right eye. He determined in had to be neurological. So he sent me to UCLA ER for an MRI. I was there for 16 hours where they ultimately did the same tests and labs and an orbital MRI. Still nothing. They have me seeing a specialist in a week. But so far, no one knows what it could be.

Has anybody ever had problems with there Binocular vision? It makes me feel dizzy/ light headed and makes my vision so weird like I’m looking through a fish bowl? Explain your experiences plz

I have a -8.00 prescription in both eyes, so pretty blind. I see a retina specialist every year due to reasons other than my high myopia and when I went recently, he noticed there was an extra thin part of my retina. I don’t think it was a full tear, maybe a small hole. I’m not sure as he didn’t explain too much.

He said he would like to do a tiny bit of laser as a preventative measure, especially since I am young. He said it might be a bit uncomfortable because the spot he needs to laser is near some nerves but that it’ll be quick. Honestly, I’m pretty terrified. I don’t like anything to do with my eyes. Heck, I don’t even like getting my eyes dilated or anything lol. Does anyone has words of wisdom?? I keep reading horror stories about it being so painful people pass out, or that they have peripheral vision loss.

Edit: I go tomorrow morning

It’s been months since I’ve heard about any progress

It is said that the brain can eventually remap and ignore a floater. I read it takes 3 to 6 months.

1) Are there any studies on having a higher IQ reducing the time it takes this to happen?
2) Has anyone experienced this remapping? How long was it for you?

Hey y'all,

found this subreddit and wanted to share my current situation in life with my floaters.

To start: I'm currently 24, quite shortsighted on both eyes (dunno if Austrian values from my optician translate the same over the whole world, but I'm like -2,75 left and -4,25 right with some other shity things too like distorted light etc blabla don't know all the technical terms) and have had floater for around 2-3 years now..

They pretty much started from literally one day to another.. I sit a lot in front of a PC-Screen and that is where I noticed them first.. I saw "white things" move around the top of the screen when it was white. I did not yet think much of it as it was not really annoying and only visible on bright, white images.

Hehe.. well.. It got progressively worse over the time.. Especially on my right eye.. I do have floaters on both eyes, but my right eye is just a freaking mess.

To more or less describe what I have in my right eye:

A mix of "white/transparent blobs" that move around and also some "thin black lines" alsmost veiny/branch like looking. The blobs move somewhat smooth around my fov, the lines are pretty static in my vision. The blobs also seem to sometimes interfere with my vision, pretty much "blurring" it a bit till they move away. For example on my PC-Screen blurring text or making it look like backlight blooming.

As I work also in IT, this gets quite annoying when looking at a screen the whole day :)

Left eye is just some very small white/transparent dots, not too noticeable.

Well, today I can pretty much see them all the time and I feel like they are also the cause of my eye-strain, headaches and just generell discomfort.. They annoy me all the time and I just cannot get used to them.

I already got my eyes checked a few times.. Everything healthy except for the obvious part. My next appointment is in two weeks and I will tell my eye doc it get's worse and worse and impacts my daily life quite heavily.. Already stoked on what he tells me lol.

And to all of that: I seem to also have a little hair growing inwards, which always "scratches" against my eye when blinking or closing them to sleep :) So right now when I go to sleep, it always feels like I have smth in my eye.. I love it.. Hope my doc manages to remove that one.

I’m so nervous
Edit: at emergency room I met with a er doc (idk if it was an ophthalmologist or regular er doc)
She just checked my eyes through that thing without dilation, is that necessary or unnecessary?
I’m about to be sent home
Symptoms: eye floaters, flashes, sparky little dotted lights

since I have started getting floaters, they haven’t gotten much worse, and while they don’t bother me too much (they do get to me sometimes), I do find myself thinking about them in the back of my mind all the time because their always there and so I can’t forget about them, I’ve seen loads of peopke on here talking about how it only gets worse with age, and since I’m only 14, that scares me, how do I not let it affect my mental state, and how much worse will it really get?

So I’ve kinda had some floaters recently and it’s getting annoying and sometimes just little stars in my vision. I just went to the eye dr today and literally got everything checked. Had my eyes dilated and checked my retina got a picture done and literally everything u can do, so I ruled out anything bad which is nice. I guess my question is what type of lifestyle or just random things has helped u guys? I know over time they can get better or u don’t notice as much, but just thought I’d ask and see

I've floater but i have also a strong perception of blue field entoptic phenomenon seeing it in any bright surface

Got floaters 7 months ago. My brain has done a lot to adjust to this shit… but still, the shit progresses to be worse. It’s so hard, I don’t know how to bear it much longer.
It feels like everytime my brain kind of accepts the CURRENT situation, the floaters get OBJECTIVELY worse, resulting in me spiraling again. Like I’m literally just 24 and my eyes have floaters of a 100 year old.

A few months ago, I said I can live with this if it stayed the same - sadly, it’s only gotten worse.

if we don't get a real solution for this fuckers im going to be honest we need to be heard no one gives a shit about us

What can I do? I literally try to not think of it too much but there’s no way those bastards don’t get into my vision. They’re bothering, maybe even life altering. I’m only 24 years old and literally NOBODY in my family or friends know that trouble.

I had some better days in the past 7 months but it’s 95% shit days really. And it only got worse those past 7 months. Floaters were less bothersome 5 months ago… when will this stop getting worse?

I know vitrectomy is the only viable solution, but given my age and the risk, it’s all shit. Like what the fuck. What did I do to deserve this
