Floaters

Similar experience.  No coffee.  Very tired.  Left eye.  Very scary.  First time it happened went to eye Doctor.  She was not concerned.  Told me I had POHS.  $300.  So now I just wait it out and go on with my life.

Floaters are usually caused when the gelatin like part of the eye starts to harden. They can start in your 30's. There is nothing that can be done that I know of. Eye conditions of MS are optic neuritis and double vision. Any eye doctor would be able to pick up on that.

Hi there, i'm not sure if you are aware or not but your post has come up in the MS community......eye floater are not generally abnormal or a sign of something serious going on like MS, so it's probably a good idea to get on with your life as you said.

Cheers.........JJ
