The description of the floaters I see would be more like a kaleidoscope of silver light. I see a curved line in each eye that consists of what you would see when looking through a kaleidoscope. I do not know how else to describe it. Each appear to be the same curved line in each eye. They last about 15 minutes and occur every 3 months.

My floaters appear as a big circle with squiggle lines and big black spots. Also tiny black spots appear as though I am looking at thousands of bugs what can I do I am desperate.

I am a 44 year old male and have had floaters since I was at least 30 years old. They have gotten more numerous and annoying every year. They vary in appearance and look like black thread with debris attached to them. Some are transparent, and look like long cell structures under a microscope. I searched the Internet and found a doctor who treats these floaters with a laser.

Mine are like a circle and I have a few lines and squiggles. I wish we did not have them; I have the protein kind; can they go away as well? I read somewhere that protein floaters can go away eventually. Thanks and does that mean we will always have floaters once we start? Also has anyone gotten rid of their floaters and how? Thanks for any help from an almost a year floater sufferer.

I'm 15 years old and I have very apparent eye floaters. In fact I believe I have had them since, at least 6 years of age. They seem to be more noticeable when I'm lacking sleep, and when I look into a bright light, without moving my pupil at all, I can't see them in much detail.

It feels like I have mascara stuck on the end of my fringe or eyelashes, sometimes when I'm concentrating, I forgot about it, however if I think about it I can still see it, very annoying and irritating at times, looking for a cure.

I am a 45 year old female who began to have major floaters about 5 years ago. In the last year they have gotten worse. I have to focus on something a few seconds before the floaters move enough to allow me to see it clearly. This makes it very difficult to drive on unfamiliar roads at night. My ophthalmologist says nothing can be done and the fact that I am extremely nearsighted makes the floaters even more obvious to me! She has also told me that the surgeons who claim to get rid of the floaters simply "bust up" the floaters and they become smaller, but all the gel is still there.

I have little floaters before, but nothing like this. I went to the doctors and was told I had a tear in my retina. He did laser treatment and I though the floater would disappear. Well it didn't. I am trying to look around the floater as I type this note. It looks like a brownish color, which was probably blood. I work the night shift and driving tonight was very difficult. I am calling the doctor in the morning and whatever has to happen, this thing has to go!

With all the foreign money spent by this country you would think that a cure for floaters would be a good possibility, the same for other diseases such as diabetes. I started have floaters at a fairly young age, all of a sudden my background turned gray and these black dots and crooked lines appeared. It's terrible feeling you may never have your sight back as you remember it.
