So here’s something that caught me off guard — after starting hormonal birth control, I noticed weird floaty specks in my vision. At first, I thought it was just my eyes being tired from screen time. But those shadowy wisps didn’t go away. If you’ve ever caught yourself squinting at the air trying to “catch”…
For years, I didn’t think much about those squiggly, drifting shadows in my vision. I chalked them up to just “eye gunk” or maybe too much screen time.

For years, I chalked up those tiny squiggly shadows in my vision to just being tired or spending too much time on screens.
