Ever looked up at a bright sky or a white wall and noticed little thread-like shapes floating across your vision? You try to blink them away, rub your eyes, maybe even shift your head — but they stick around. For years, I thought these were just normal quirks of tired eyes. It wasn’t until I…
Ever catch a floater in your vision that seems to move in sync with your heartbeat? Yeah, I’ve been there—and honestly, it freaked me out at first.
