I started to see floaters this year. First, it scared the shit out of me, because I only have one healthy eye and starting to see this flying dots and strings was a really scary experience. It also was just really annoying.

After the ophthalmologist checked my eye, she said what I'm seeing is called "mouches volantes" and it's something that happens when people get older. I'm "only" 37 and don't have any problems with my eyesight, which makes me wonder what caused these floaters in my case.

Anyway, it's something I have to get used to. It only really is annoying on sunny days because then I can see them clearly floating around.
