Boy, this group can really get their money's worth out of any topic!!

Here's a new one. Anyone out there have Eye Floaters.

My floaters are so bad I have trouble focusing on words because the floaters wander by. That one of the main reason's I'm transitioning to audio books.

I've had floater's all my life, but they do increase over time. I think from high blood pressure which I had for a long time.

However, just to show the fallability of doctors, I had an optomistrist/opthamalogist (I don't remember which one I saw that day) tell me that there was NO SUCH THING AS FLOATERS. Needless to say, I didn't go back to him.

FYI, if any of you do have severe floaters, there is one doctor who is experimenting with a laser treatment to "burn up" the floaters. I've been tempted.

What say you crazy guys and gals.................
