In a somewhat strange turn of events, I'm now starting to believe I'm getting a very mild form of this dumb condition. I remember this topic and read through it again but a few comments were somewhat startling. Just about 2 weeks ago I started noticing that the flotsam and other nuisances that naturally overlap one's vision was becoming more "prominent." The afterimage that you get with different lights you see are more bold but its hard to describe. I notice when I'm in front of a close screen like a computer that things out of the corner of my eye are more noticeable and fling to and fro. Its likely due to a white background and its easier to see flotsam. I wouldn't call them bright flashes but I do get random stars if you will mostly in the corner of my eyes. Usually more at night and the longer I'm awake. I'm starting to wonder now and praying it goes away.
Just this afternoon I noticed the most prominent "floater" I've ever had but it went away in seconds. It was a darker than normal orb that quickly jolted when I looked somewhere else. I'm reading these things about possible retinal detachment and I'm going "ugh." I don't think its that and I haven't had recent trauma. It can't be normal deterioration due to age because I'm only in my early 20s still. I last went to an optometrist two May's ago and nothing was occurring then.
Also wouldn't mind hearing some updates as to what you're eye floaters are doing now (thread posters).
