Last year, after starting a prescription blood thinner following a minor heart arrhythmia, I noticed a strange uptick in those drifting shapes in my vision — the classic “floaters.” At first, I brushed it off. Maybe it was stress or age, but the timing felt too coincidental. So I did what anyone with a curious…
My eyes used to play tricks on me—especially after a long day staring at spreadsheets or binge-watching a show. Little specks, squiggles, or translucent blobs would drift across my vision. At first, I thought it was just fatigue or dust. But when they started showing up more frequently, I learned they were called eye floaters….
Not long ago, I was sitting at my desk, sipping coffee, when I noticed a little squiggly shadow floating across my vision. I blinked, rubbed my eyes, and looked around. Still there.

Last summer, I was having lunch with my aunt when she casually mentioned those “squiggly little things” she sometimes sees drifting across her vision. I laughed—because I see them too. Turns out, we both had our first experience with eye floaters in our early thirties. That got me wondering: is there a family connection? Are…
It started with a mild irritation in my right eye—something that felt like dryness or maybe an allergic flare-up. After a quick trip to the eye doctor, I was prescribed steroid eye drops.
