There was a time I thought I was going blind. Not kidding. One moment I was casually scrolling on my phone, and the next—bam! Weird squiggly shapes started dancing in my field of vision. I freaked out. My first thought? Retinal detachment. Turned out, they were eye floaters. But here’s the twist—I’d also get these…
It started for me sometime in my late twenties. I’d be working on my laptop, glancing up at the ceiling, and there it was — that weird squiggly shape drifting around my field of vision like it had no place to be. I remember blinking a few times, rubbing my eyes, even wondering if I…
When I hit my mid-40s, I started noticing odd little specks drifting across my vision. At first, I chalked them up to dust or screen fatigue—nothing a good eye rub couldn’t fix.

A few years back, I started noticing these weird little shapes floating across my vision. At first, I thought maybe I needed more sleep or fewer energy drinks. But nope—those squiggly shadows stuck…
It started with just a few of them. Those squiggly little specks floating across my vision whenever I glanced at a bright wall or the blue sky.
