A member asked:

I am 17 and sometimes i get a bit of floaters in my vision, should i be worried, they disappear after a while though?

Floaters: It is common to get floaters in the eye, especially as one ages. If it persists and does not disappear, see your eye MD referred by your pedi MD for an eye check.
