Members reassured someone worried about eye floaters by sharing that they are common with age and fibromyalgia, with many experiencing them for years alongside symptoms like flashes of light, dry eyes, and vision changes during flares. Several members described getting thorough eye exams that ruled out serious problems, with doctors explaining that floaters are usually caused by fibers clumping in the vitreous fluid and casting shadows on the retina. A recurring theme was the importance of regular monitoring and seeking immediate care if flashes of light appear, while also recognizing that floaters often become less noticeable over time as people adjust to them.

I have the floaters, have had them for several years now. The flashes started about 4 months ago. Was at the eye dr 2 weeks ago and he didnt seem overly concerned about the flashes. Did my regular exam, checked for cataracts and anything else. I did have a change which required new glasses but other than that he said I was good to go. Sometimes the floaters are many and sometimes not at all.

floaters are common with age. I have them. Some days are bad others there are none at all. I am 67 and recently had an eye exam. I even get little flashes of light in my periferial vision. I was told that is also common with age.

I was thinking about this a view days ago. I see a lot of floaters but at my last eye doctor visit everything looked good. It’s scary.
