Visual axis view: Join the crowd as everyone will eventually see their floaters! when it comes into your visual axis (vision) they are more apparent, like looking at the blue sky, or on a white wall. They will eventually settle down out of view, and not be so apparent. However, if you see a stream of many floaters at once, then you have to call your eye doctor immediately. That is not normal, and is an emergency.
