The Senator Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Exiled gives sounds advice. I had a bad case of floaters and ignored them for too long, til I developed a huge bright spot in my right eye with nothing more than a bit of peripheral vision. Turns out i had cataracts in both eyes. Doc removed them, and installed some nifty multi focal lenses. Bingo, floaters gone, and I no longer need glasses - which is a huge plus if you’re driving along at the speed of light. Don’t ignore those floaters! .

The lint I’m seeing are not “floaters” as Marcus Welby in Illinois and Senator House are referring to....I’ve been seeing these lint pieces in my closed eyelids since I was a kid at the beach (when eyes are closed and looking toward the light you see the lint and it swims around until you keep our eyeballs still). So if you are applying medical principles to a 12 yr old kid having floaters I feel that our inland waters are at risk. Find me some real research damn it!!!

Maybe we can help each other. Can an someone explain what all those little pieces of lint are on the inside of my eyeballs when I close my eyes and look up into the sun? I’m a pretty clean person and shower every day. But when I look up in the sky and close my eyelids, there’s a bunch of lint and debris inside my eye sockets that floats around. I try to keep it in one place but it quickly zig zags across my field of vision. It’s maddening. Why do I have lint in my eyeballs? Because you're an idiot. Next question? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I deal with floaters, and apparently there’s not much I can do about it. Debris in the optic fluid. Sunglasses during tennis makes it easier to see the ball. Semi-related to floaters, we are about to renovate a bathroom. The contractor said he would get us the quietest possible exhaust fan. WHY? I’d rather hear the fan than anything you’re doing in there! Make your floaters in peace! Leave me out of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story. 5 minutes ago, DC Tom said: Because you're an idiot. Next question? I’m thinking “lint swimmers” (as opposed to eye floaters - which these are not) are a sign of intelligence and enhanced perception. I may be the next Einstein. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you are applying medical principles to a 12 yr old kid having floaters I feel that our inland waters are at risk. Find me some real research damn it!!! Yes they are! https://www.atriushealth.org/specialties-and-services/eye-care/common-visual-conditions/spots-flashes-and-floaters Eye spots, flashes and floaters Eye spots and floaters are small, semi-transparent or cloudy particles that float within the vitreous (the jelly-like fluid filling the eye). They come in different shapes and sizes and can look like insects, rain drops, dark spots, cobwebs, thread-like strands, or hair. What causes spots and floaters? Spots and floaters may be flecks of protein or other matter that were trapped while the eye was forming before birth. They also can be caused when the vitreous partially liquefies. This often happens during the normal aging process. Certain eye diseases or injuries can also cause floaters. Are spots and floaters serious? Most spots and floaters are normal. Sometimes they can indicate a more serious problem. Especially if there is a sudden increase in their number or if they are accompanied by flashes. What are flashes and vitreal detachment? Flashes are streaks of light that may or may not appear with spots and floaters. They are similar to what you see when a flash goes off on a camera. Flashes last for only one or two seconds. One cause of flashes might be migraine headaches. Another cause might be the vitreous shrinking and pulling away from the retina (the part of the eye that receives visual images and sends them to the brain). Every time the vitreous pulls on the retina, you will see a flash of light. Vitreous shrinkage is normal. If it continues, it can result in part or all of the vitreous separating from the back of the eye (vitreous detachment)... Now...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Floaters should be checked out. If there's no real problem there, you'll get used to them and not notice them after awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 My dog likes to scooch her butt along the road when we walk. You know....that little butt slide thing. Worse, she will also do it inside on an area rug, leaving some unfortunate skid marks. Apparently there is such a thing as draining a dogs anal glands. (I know, you’re upset that you got this far!) Can someone explain to me why the Vet office thought they would just teach me how to do this? I’m sorry, that’s what we have YOU guys for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, due to a lack of good fiber in the average canine diet, many dogs have to have their anal glands expressed manually … meaning the vet or groomer squeezes them by hand to get the fluid out...." "...That’s when this enthusiastic poop watcher had an epiphany. I thought back to conversations about dogs who couldn’t express their anal glands through raw diets with bones and realized… … it’s less about how hard a dog squeezes when pooping and more about how wide the anus expands. This makes sense to me. Bones in the diet partially dissolve during the digestive process, creating those small firm poops raw feeders are so proud of! But sometimes these little poops are too small to expand the anus wide enough to naturally express the glands...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I walk her, the first two to three poops are ROCK hard. The last one is more loose. I apologize to the people who have tuned in here to my dogs pooping rituals.
