One night, I sat in a dim room with nothing but a flickering candle to keep me company. It was supposed to be a calming moment—just me, my breath, and the flame. But almost instantly, I noticed something strange. Little specs, threads, and shadowy shapes danced in my vision as I tried to focus. That…
It started with a tiny spot drifting across my vision one morning — barely noticeable, but annoyingly persistent. If you’ve ever stared at a clear sky or a white wall and spotted shadowy cobwebs or threads moving when your eyes move, chances are you’ve encountered eye floaters. The good news?
