Floaters in my eye!

[Del]

Last January my eyes began to feel sore and so I got them checked out. Nothing strange for a 47 year old. Just need the lowest power reading glass.
But then I got outdoor glasses for cycling and running as the soreness persisted. I have had a floater in my right eye since a child and it is no biggie. but over the last few months I seem to have developed a few more.

I now realize it was a precursor to my CD on set.
Has anybody else seen an increase in this symptom or suffer from floaters?
Thanks..

I had not correlated it with a flare, but yes, I have some floaters which can be annoying against a blue sky.

Thats weird when I'm outside I see things too, but its more like looking at micro organisms under a microscope, sometimes I see clear circles too.

I know that they are common enough in the general population but there seems to be some connection however tenuous at the moment. It seems to have got a lot worse this year.

very occasionally I would get them but they don't last long enough to cause a problem. Before I had any symptoms of CD I got a bad eye inferction in both my eyes that wouldn't budge for about 6 weeks, I didn't relate it to CD until my sister pointed it out that eyes are often effected.

mine's kind of like this. i only really notice it when i'm outside looking at the sky. very faint and kaleidoscope-y. although mine started when i got pregnant and has toned down but never gone away. i always attributed mine to hormones. maybe not?

I don't think anythings the same after your pregnant!!!

I have a lot of floaters in both eyes. It makes it really hard to see clearly when everything is snow covered outside. I had an eye infection as a child and have had them ever since then. They are so annoying!

I carried out a poll on another forum (astronomy related) and was quite surprise just how many people have them...

I've had them for years, have a particularly big one in my right eye....I think they are quite common? Annoying though aren't they
