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. But you know what made it more confusing? A few days later, I noticed some small, dark discolorations…
You know that feeling after a night of tossing and turning, where everything feels just a bit… off? Yeah, same. A few months ago, I was juggling work stress and a newborn at home—so, sleep was more of a fantasy than reality. Then, one morning, I noticed these weird squiggly shapes floating across my vision….
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.

If you’ve ever had retinal laser therapy—maybe for a retinal tear, diabetic retinopathy, or another issue—you might’ve noticed something strange afterward: floaters. Those pesky little specks, cobwebs, or shadows drifting across your vision can catch you off guard. I remember squinting at my phone screen a few days after a laser procedure, thinking my screen…
I’ll be honest—I never really paid attention to the little squiggly shadows in my vision until one day I got clocked in the eye during a casual basketball game. What followed wasn’t just a black eye; it was these annoying little floaters dancing across my vision that wouldn’t go away. I panicked. Was I losing…
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…
