If you’ve ever stared at a bright sky or a white wall and noticed tiny specs, strings, or cobweb-like things drifting around in your vision—congrats, you’re now part of the “am I getting older?” club.

So, the other day after a night out with a couple of drinks—okay, more than a couple—I noticed something odd. I was dealing with this increased mess of floaters clouding up my vision the next morning. I’ve always had a few here and there, but this time, it was like a snow globe exploded in…
