This sort of flies in the face of the common sense rule to keep pointy things out of your eye.
I'm just very depressed to be doing all of this again.

Sorry.
For most of my life I've fought with a condition called Pars Planitis that is "leakage" of white blood cells etc. into the Vitreous of the eye. It causes "floaters" and blurry spots/images in your visual field. For years I received steroid injections into my eyelid which helped reduce it temporarily. Fortunately my case is not very bad and I have decided to simply live with it without the injections.
Wish you the best of luck with this DixieGal! My thoughts will be with you!
