Hi Noa,
I've had floaters all my life -- little transparent squiggly things and transparent spots that move randomly across my field of vision distorting the objects in front of me.
I can remember entertaining myself when I was a little girl, moving my eyes quickly to one corner and then fix on something so I could watch the floaters go by and distort what I was looking at. (When you're an only child, you make up a lot of games to amuse yourself.)
My vision is good. I don't wear glasses or contacts. Glaucoma is hereditary in my family. My ophthalmologist's questionnaire when I go for my check-up every other year always asks if I have floaters and I always say yes. But no one there has ever told me that it's a problem. Frankly I don't know what they are, but figure if I've had them this long there's no harm in 'em.
