My artist impression of my eye floaters

bit of a rubbish drawing, but this is the rough idea, the round things represent cell looking things, and the lines are clear streaks

http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/7429/floatesvs7.jpg

i also suffer from slight double vision, and myopia

my optitian said my eyes were healthy, but i have myopia

why do i have double vision though, and the floaters?

is this caused through computer use?

Hey, I just wanted to say that I know exaclly how you feel...lol I also have double vision and bad eye floaters, sometimes the floaters are so bad I catch myself covering that eye just to read something...lol.
Your drawings are great, they look just like them! Good luck in finding out whats going on! I have an appointment tomorrow with a ohthamologist to find out for me.
I read somewhere on the internet that if you look far down than look far up, sometimes it will cause the floaters to settle to the bottom of your eye, out of sight. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't, I think it depends on how many I have going on at that time...lol
Good Luck!

Those are pretty good drawings. My floaters look like those also. The computer will not cause floaters or double vision.  I'm concerned about double vision as some very serious things can cause that. I would suggest a second opinion with another Eye MD ophthalmologist.
