Waking up, stretching, and then noticing those annoying little specks or cobwebs dancing across your vision? Yeah, been there. It’s especially odd when they seem to only show up in the morning light—like a rude wake-up call before you’ve even had your coffee. When I first noticed these morning-only floaters, I honestly thought it was…
It was a few years ago when I first had my eyes dilated during a routine exam. I remember stepping out of the clinic, squinting under the sun with those oversized plastic shades they give you, and seeing odd specks floating in my vision. At first, I thought it was just a trick of the…
For years, I brushed off the specks drifting through my vision as nothing more than a harmless quirk. But when they started getting more noticeable—especially during long days in front of the computer—I knew something was off.

I used to think something was wrong with my eyes—or that maybe I wasn’t getting enough sleep—until I finally asked my optometrist. Turns out, those floaters that come…
Last year, I noticed something strange during my morning walks — not floaters themselves, but a subtle shift in how light seemed to interact with my vision. I chalked it up to screen fatigue or lack of sleep. But as weeks passed, those minor visual hiccups turned into unmistakable floaters. Looking back, I wish I’d…
