I have had floaters since I was 11 years old. That has been 53 years now. They do degrade my sight, as there is not a time when I do not notice them. Doctors said there is really nothing to be done, it seems the fuzzy ones can be treated with lasers, the sharp contrasted ones are too close to the retina for that. When I have my appt this year I will press it once again. What I wouldn’t give to have my 25 year old self back. Anything but sell my soul..lol

Always had them as far back as I can remember.

Those were the least of my vision problems.

Chronic nearsightedness, mildly colorblind, and diplopic/strabmisus made life rather tough growing up.

Lasik fixed the first problems. The second I’ve had to live with. As for the third, the quacks just apparently never cared very much. I usually get blank stares.

I learned how to adapt and manage as a kid. Sometimes it is still hard for a few moments though.

Wonder what I did to rate getting stuck with those problems from the beginning.
