They're usually broken down collagen from the vitreous humor and blood vessels from when you were a fetus.

Or your retina is detaching. But don't panic.

I've been outside in the sun quite a bit over the last week, which really isn't something I've done since I was a child



they're really noticeable when you look at a blue sky

I have had them for years and never realized other people had them. I usually only see them when I'm in a car for some reason (looking at the sky primarily). Hate it. Gives me a fucking headache. One of the reasons I don't like being in cars.

I try to make them follow paths or move around stuff in the background, but then I'll accidentally move my eyes too quickly and they'll be flung out of vision.
Later on, eye floaters.

Glad I don't, at least don't think, I have this issue.

I used to get crazy little hexagonal patches, like bits of honeycomb. I can still summon 'em up if I stare hard enough. Good times.

Oh great, now I've really got 'em going strong. Thanks a lot.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THEM. I TRIED TO TELL MY PARENTS ABOUT THEM WHEN I WAS LITTLE BUT THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND

i had them all the time when i was a kid, usually little oval-shaped things that looked like transparent bacteria. i think i don't see them any more because the aging process is gradually fucking up my focal length.

I get 'em mostly when I'm driving. For some reason my eye doctor will always ask me about them, but never follow-up with any other questions after I say yes. I feel like he just wants to make sure that he's not the only one who gets them.
