If you’ve ever stared up at the bright sky or looked at a blank wall only to notice strange shadowy shapes drifting across your vision—those squiggly or cobweb-like floaters—you’re not alone. I remember noticing my first floater while hiking on a sunny day in Bali. At first, I thought it was just dust in my…
So the other night, I was out with friends, enjoying a glass (okay, maybe two) of wine, and I noticed something weird — those little specks floating in my vision were suddenly more noticeable than usual.

Last year, while adjusting to the unpredictable ups and downs of my rheumatoid arthritis (RA), I noticed something odd—tiny specks drifting across my vision.
