When I first started noticing strange squiggly shapes drifting across my vision, I chalked it up to screen fatigue or maybe just dust in my eyes. But when they didn’t go away—and actually seemed to multiply—I started digging deeper. That’s when I stumbled across something that frankly, I hadn’t heard of before: Stickler syndrome. Turns…
Not too long ago, I started noticing odd little squiggles drifting through my line of sight—like shadows that refused to stay still. I blinked, rubbed my eyes, even changed my glasses, but nothing helped.

So, a few months ago, I noticed these tiny dark specks drifting across my vision—like little gnats I couldn’t quite swat away. They weren’t alarming at first, but then they multiplied and started moving more aggressively. As someone who’s had a couple of mild eye infections in the past, I brushed it off as just…
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…
Last week, I had one of those throbbing migraines that knocked me off my routine for hours. As I lay in a dark room, something odd happened—I noticed weird flickering shapes and spots drifting across my vision. At first, I blamed the pain, but then I paused. Were those floaters?
