So there I was, staring at my laptop screen for what felt like the millionth Zoom meeting of the week, when those annoying little floaters started dancing across my vision again. I blinked. Rubbed my eyes. Sighed. It made me wonder—was it the dry eyes from too much screen time? Or were those floaters just…
It wasn’t until I was on a poorly lit highway with headlights streaking across my windshield like meteor trails that I truly understood how problematic eye floaters could be while driving at night.

Not too long ago, I was staring at my computer screen, thinking a smudge was on my glasses—turns out, it wasn’t the lenses, it was something *in* my eye. Welcome to the weird world of eye floaters.

The first time it happened, I was convinced there was a bug flying around the room — until I realized it was inside my eye. Spoiler: that was my first encounter with something called posterior vitreous detachment,…
It started subtly—a faint squiggle floating into my peripheral vision when I glanced at a bright wall. At first, I thought it was dust. I blinked, rubbed my eyes, even cleaned my glasses. But it didn’t go away. Turns out, what I was seeing was a floater. And the older I got, the more of…
