A member asked:
Myodesopsia? i see floaters in my eyes when i move into brighter room. about 10-30 sec. not everyday. sometimes, but scares me. what is it?

Usually normal: Most people notice the fibrils of collagen in the vitreous humor of the eye as floaters. Myodesopsia is normal and occurs because the fibrils cast a shadow on the retina. After a while, your brain ignores them, and they seem to disappear. They sometimes occur in certain eye diseases. See an eye doctor if you are concerned or if the floaters appear as many small dots.

I've been having these things called Eye Floaters for more than 5 months. I see a lot of them,especially on bright areas such as the sky or a bright light. Can I go blind from the Eye Floaters? Do they go away naturally or do I have to get treatment?
