A member asked:
When squinting, i see a long, narrow line slowly drift down my vision. it does not look the same as my floaters. it is not detailed and spans my entire vision when focusing on it. is this normal and will it become more noticeable with time?

What you described does not pose any immediate risk. You can watch and wait. If you develop new floaters or see flashes of light, see and ophthalmologist. You may discuss it with your doctor at the next visit. Wish you good health!
