Does that make sense to anyone? I have a few of them and you see them best when looking at light colored objects. It is annoying but managable. I asked an eye doctor about it once and he said it was nothing serious and not much they could do about it. I do not have the spider type floaters as you describe.

Anyone else?

Me too...have become used to them. Problematic when playing pool and trying to focus on the object ball's aiming point...sometimes a head shake will move the floater out of the way.

Opthamologist says no real cure other than a risky surgery entailing removing them from the eye fluid.
