Eye floaters are caused by the break-down of the transparent gel in the eye into a fluid. The loose floating material causes small shadows to be cast on the retina. In many respects, it is natural and nothing to be concerned about.

However, if you notice a sudden increase in them, or they are becoming a serious distraction/impairment - then you should see an eye doctor, since that can be a sign of more serious issues.

I've had a few that I have noticed for quite some time - ever since I was a kid. One is a filament-looking deal that kind of drags along just under my main point of focus. Another is a small black orb that trails just to the right of my main point of focus and will cross it when I look left quickly.

Use to happen to me, but not very often.
No I'm free from it.

Any exercises to get them out of your vision for a couple of seconds or minutes?

Is that anything like lattice corneal dystrophy? My ex-girlfriend had that, and it sounds like what you're describing.

Nevermind, lattice corneal dystrophy isn't the same as eye floaters. Lattice corneal dystrophy is much rarer and I think more severe.

Same for me. When I got my glasses, the eye doctor told me to make sure I contact her if I suddenly start seeing a bunch of them all at once and that they may look like a swarm of flies. Said that was something to worry about. Take the safe route and see a doctor, not a manga forum.

Worst case you might have a detached retina, get it checked to be 100% sure.

Went to a doctor a couple months back and they said they didn't see anything.

I hate how they just run away when you try to look at them.
