So here’s the thing — I’ve been doing long-distance cycling for years. Not competitively or anything, just the kind of weekend warrior stuff.

If you’ve ever seen shimmering zigzags, flashing lights, or blind spots in your vision, and you weren’t looking into the sun or staring at a screen for hours — you’re not alone. I still remember the first time it happened to me. I thought I was having an eye problem. Turns out, it was a…
It’s weird how something so small can throw your entire day off. I remember sitting at my desk one morning, sipping coffee, when those tiny squiggly floaters started dancing across my vision.
