Ever had one of those coughing fits so intense it left your ribs sore—and then suddenly, you noticed weird little specks or cobweb-like lines floating in your vision? It happened to me after a rough cold. I’d been hacking non-stop for days, and then boom—tiny floaters started drifting across my view, especially against bright backgrounds….
If you’ve ever stared at a bright sky or a white wall and noticed those drifting little specks or cobweb-like strands in your vision—yep, those are eye floaters. I remember the first time I really paid attention to mine: lying on my yoga mat after a long stretch, I opened my eyes to the ceiling…
