Floaters / black spots in vision

[Carnation]

Anyone else get these? Mine seemed to have got worse.
Just in one eye, left hand side. Had eyes checked out and all ok. Seem to worse when I am anxious, but that could be a coincidence. I have no idea really, just wondered how common it was. I would feel a bit more normal if someone else experienced them.

I get this all the time - and yes, I notice it more when I'm anxious. On a bad day it can look like thai glass noodle soup... Are you short sighted by any chance? My consultant (I had PVD unconnected to the floaters a couple of years ago) reckons it goes with myopia. If you've had it checked out try not to worry. Just one of those things.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I am shortsighted. Thanks for the advice.

Yep, I have loads of these.

I think the more you think about these floaters the more you notice them, particularly if it's sunny.

The most important thing is that your eyes have been thoroughly checked out by an expert in these things. Did he/she mention the myopia connection? Anxiety can make things more pronounced of course but this is no consolation when you're worried xx

Thank you Blue and Pulisa x
I did have my eyes checked out and the Opticians was more than happy with my eyes.
You are right, I'm being too conscious about it. xx

Yes I get them a lot, apparently they are more common with age.
I’m glad you had them checked, but you are probably being hyper vigilant which is why you keep seeing them.

Thanks Scass. Annoying things that anxiety loves. x
