I have floaters in my eyes, and have had them for about 10years. They are just dead cells, and do not cause a problem, they are just a nuisance.

Whenever you look at something bright, a very small part of your retina gets permanently damaged. Depending on how you look at the bright imagine, it usually leaves a amoeba-like mark on your retina, also known as a floater.
I have them, you have them, everybody who's ever been outside has them. What makes them a serious condition is when they build up in a certain area of your retina, which creates a blind spot. Blind spots are also created by laser pointers and other High-Intensity emitting devices.
So, as long as you don't stare at the sun for a living, or clean your eyes with laser pointers, you should be fine.

Floaters are tiny fragments of detached tissue floating inside the eye. I was assured by a distinguished eye surgeon that mine are harmless.
In view of the fact that all my reports draw attention to them, they must have some possible significance, so it's worth having them checked.

'Floaters' are NOT, repeat NOT dangerous of themselves. I have had them for many years. As others have said on here - they are merely dead cells.
In later life though they COULD be come more serious as they are a potential indication of macular degeneration within the eye.

Education is a wonderful thing, but the downside of filling your head with "knowledge" is that it makes less room for being open to alternatives.
Mostly every eye doctor and optometrist truly believe that THEY KNOW BEST... and quite frankly, they have to... The grim alternative is to face a life crises (like I did), and the complete breakdown of their current life and practice.
The optometry industry is one thing... but it's no use blaming your doctor or optometrist for being ignorant. Rather be happy you've been lucky enough to stumble upon this quick and reliable way to regain your natural vision abilities.

MOST floaters are harmless, but it is wise to get it properly identified. This I found helpful. When you first are aware of them you are looking for them all the time, but in time the brain ignores them and they are less easy to see in your field of vision.
