Yes, I used to get these allot, but now there less frequent.
Floaters are pretty normal, and probably nothing to worry about.
But check with your eye Dr and see what they say.
Ive heard that near sited people usually get em more???

Hello. Yes, I do. I actually went to the eye doc a cpl weeks ago b/c it was so annoying. Of course I was petrified they were gonna find something horribly wrong. But she said my eyes were over all good. Just got glasses so I can see on the PC. I didnt realize how blurry I was seeing things until I got htem. She didnt say anything aboutthe floaters, sooo... it comes and goes. I do get lightheaded too. But I think some of that may be b/c Im preggos. Take care!
