Ever blinked and caught a strange speck or shadow off to the side of your vision, only to have it vanish as quickly as it appeared? That’s how it started for me—a couple of little floaty spots that showed up only in the corners of my eyes, and only when I blinked. At first, I…
Ever noticed those drifting specks in your vision—like little threads, blobs, or cobwebs? If you’re like me, you’ve probably shrugged it off the first few times. I know I did.
