How do you think he turned that product out so fast with the election looming?

been dealing with floaters and flashers in my right eye for the past couple of years...there is an annoying floater smack dab in the middle of the focal point in my right eye which is extremely distracting...my left eye has a rare defect that prevents sharp focus of printed material or objects up close ... hell getting old... gave up reading awhile ago, but the floater seems to be getting smaller...hopefully it'll disappear, get smaller, or move...

Maybe give "SCRIBD" a try. I recently started listening to books during workouts. Two birds and a stone, and all that jazz...lots of books to choose from.

That's a great idea. In fact, I recently got my first library card in years because the locals have lots of audio books for download.

In fact, the digital ones might be ok on the eyes, as well - reading on a tablet is better than I thought it was going to be.

thanks guys...if this continues, I may have to look into that...

optometrist recommended some eye exercises that might help to move the floater to another part of the eyeball...the one in my line of sight has moved slightly but another smaller one has come into the picture...

so, they really aren't on the eyeball.
it all starts in the back of the eye with the retraction of the gel-like substance...not sure how they can move.

they are small objects, debris, that float in the vitreous body, the gel-like substance that fills the interior of the eyeball...they can and do move and when they are in between the lens and the retina, they become visible as a dark spot...this one is right in line with where my focal point is for reading, and I have to blink and look slightly off center to read.

Exercises call for moving my head up and down, left and right, and around while moving my eyes/looking in the opposite directions...I get a little dizzy if I do this too vigorously...

yeah, I have the PVD. Never heard there were actually bodies that could be relocated though.
I see the flashes once in a while, but the dark thingies are more tiny spider webby and seem to float with eye movement. I see them clearly when laying in the sun with my eyes closed and they "move" when I roll my eyes.

Let me know if the flashbacks hit. I'm due a few from the 90s. I'd like to get my money's worth

I've been binging on books since the start of 2019. Finished "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" by Meg Meeker, M.D., "Nonsense" by Jamie Holmes, "The Call Of Sedona/ Journey Of The Heart" by Ilchi Lee and the Kenmore Canister Vacuum Cleaner Manual. Next up "A Field Guide to Lies" by Daniel J. Levitin.

I just finished "Braving The Wilderness" by Brene Brown. I am now into "Kidding Ourselves" by Joseph T. Hallinan and just started "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen helped make my first name more tolerable in middle school. However it didn't last for long when the ****s started calling me Bruce Stringbean. 😣
