Floaters

Do you experience floaters in your vision? If so, did you start to notice them before or after your injections? How do you find yourself dealing with them? Share below!

  1. I have dry AMD but I have had floaters for several years. Some look like spots but I also see spider web type when I look up. While driving I experienced a floater that looked like a worm crawling across my vision. It lasted several minutes and was impossible to ignore. Thankfully it stopped after a few minutes.

    1. That's so great that the most bothersome floater settled and went away after a few minutes! They can be such a nuisance and hard to ignore. I'm glad to hear they aren't bothering you too much. All my best, Abby (MacularDegeneration.net team member).

  2. Ugh! I had floaters that were slight and raced across your eye and were gone. But in the past couple of years (I’m 71) there was a black “hairy” floater that developed and just stays in my left eye below the field of vision on the left side of my eyeball. Depending on where I am (lighted area or dark area - movement of people or things or not) I sometimes jump thinking there’s a bug right nearby. Doctor says he can see it but it’s nothing to be concerned about…I suppose I will make friends with my hairy floater. 😉
