About This Video:
In this video Joseph J. Allen, O.D from DoctorEyeHealth reviews the 3 things everyone needs to know about floaters. If you are experiencing any spots, shapes, or cobwebs in your vision, then check out this video. This video covers what floaters are, when we might develop them, potentially serious retinal complications, and treatment options. Floaters can be annoying and even scary at times so I made this educational guide to help you understand what is changing within the eye and the potential complications as the floaters develop. In this video you’ll learn about my 3 must know facts about visual floaters and why you shouldn't put off getting into the clinic to be seen!

    When I was a kid, I thought that I have a super power of seeing microorganisms by my naked eye...
  • @knottreel
    Some of my earliest childhood memories are watching floaters whenever I looked at the blue sky.
  • Here’s your laugh for the day!! My brother had to have surgery on a detached retina and my Mother who was 94 at the time, was telling all her friends that he had to have surgery on a “detached rectum”!!!! Wrong word Mom!!😂😂😂
  • 60 or older? I had them since I was 20 - yet my eyesight is still top. This video is making me worried...
  • I recently had an onset of severe floaters which appeared like a flock of starlings. Fortunately I saw my local eye physician who diagnosed a detached retina in my lazy eye. I was referred to a retina specialist who repaired the damage and saved my eyesight. The inhouse procedure was scary, but totally effective. God bless Dr Adderman of Eye Health Northwest in Portland Oregon. Everyone should view this video so please share with all your friends.

    I have had "floaters" since I was five years old and first realized them. That was 64 years ago.
  • I had "shooting stars" in my left eye for months. I saw white pin-point dots shooting from left to right in my left eye. Very long story short, I had a clot in my left carotid artery. The "stars" were particles being shed from the clot. I was in surgery 4 hours after it was discovered. Don't ignore "shooting stars"!!
  • Hello doctor! I'm an ophthalmologist myself, from Brazil, and have just found your channel here on YouTube. Congratulations! You are such a great communicator and show deep knowledge of your field! 👏👏👏
  • @liamwilbur1897
    I have one in my left eye that looks like an organism. I've had him since I was about 23 I call him Fred.
  • @fatelamore
    Oh, dear, if it weren't for my floaters, I'd be all alone.
  • @TheMagicCrafter
    I've been having the camera flash in the corners of my eyes for about a month now. Didn't think much of it until it started happening more frequently. Going in this Friday to see my eye doc about it. 😕 Thank you for your passion surrounding eye health. I think you really do help push others to care more about their eyes too.
  • @colinkensley
    Had eye floaters since I was a kid...I think I notice them more now that I'm 50
  • @sybilyap7949
    I had cataracts in my 2 eyes at the age of 40 years old. It affected my visions. Doc said it was due to my immunosuppression drugs. After the op, I had floaters and on some days they swirled so fast I had to rest or take a seat because it was like hairs bugging my eyes. Now I am 60 years old. Living with these floaters for 20 years. I had 2 lasers done to my lens and floaters increased in numbers. Most importantly is I can see clearly with or without floaters. Praise God for that.
  • @Idahoguy10157
    When I was young I had floaters. Didn’t know what they were. Stopped talking about them because people thought I was crazy.
  • @castin5244
    Ive had floaters since I was small child. My vision is totally fine regardless. I used to think they were small creatures inside my eyes. I also for a while I used to call them "heat waves" and my mom was seriously concerned that I was constantly talking about seeing heat waves.
