Floaters after vitrectomy. Yep, been there. I remember sitting up in recovery, eye patch on, hopeful and blurry-eyed—literally—and thinking, “Finally, those pesky shadows are gone.” Fast forward a few days, and what do I see? New floaters. Different from before. Less squiggly, but just as annoying. If you’ve just had a vitrectomy and are noticing…
I still remember the uneasy feeling after my eye surgery—the strange specks drifting across my vision like dust in a sunbeam. I blinked. Rubbed my eyes. Blinked again. Still there. Those annoying shadows were my first experience with floaters after corneal surgery. At the time, no one had warned me this could happen. And yet,…
When I was in my early twenties, I started noticing these faint, thread-like wisps floating in my vision, especially when looking at a bright sky or a white screen. Back then, I chalked it up to fatigue or too much screen time. Years later, I learned they weren’t just any floaters—they were linked to a…
If you’ve ever stared at the sky or a blank wall and caught a glimpse of drifting squiggles or transparent threads, you know how oddly distracting eye floaters can be. Mine started after a long editing session one night—tiny specs that darted away whenever I tried to focus on them. At first, I brushed it…
It started with a sunny afternoon walk—nothing unusual. Just me, a pair of sunglasses, and the kind of blue sky you get maybe once a week. But something was off.

Right after my retinal laser treatment, I thought I was in the clear. Vision saved, problem solved. But within days, strange specks and shadowy strings began floating through my sight—like tiny cobwebs drifting around. I blinked, I rubbed my eyes, I even tried convincing myself it was just dust. But nope—those floaters were here to…
It started for me as a tiny speck drifting in my line of sight during a sunny morning jog. I blinked, looked around, even rubbed my eyes. Still there. What seemed like a harmless floater ended up revealing something more serious—something most people ignore until it’s almost too late: retinal holes. If you’re seeing floaters…
I never really thought much about the dark specks drifting across my vision—until they started to stick around. You know that feeling when you rub your eyes and see shadows or lines dancing for a second? These weren’t like that. They lingered. At first, I shrugged them off as just floaters, but when things began…
