Eye floaters over last few months

    Hi All, I started noticing floaters in my left eye last October, I have had my eyes looked at 3 times since to make sure there was no retinal detachment/tears and all looks ok. The floaters appear to be getting worse i.e larger and looks like I see them more often, they appear to look big and then once the move into the centre of my vision they appear smaller, does this make sense? These are dark coloured and also when driving Ive seen clear small circles in clumps or lines! anyone else have similar experience and have been able to do anything to help you ignore them more?

    I have had a bit of stress over the last few months so maybe this is why I have started to see them in this time?

    Went through this last year.
    I'm afraid it happens to nearly everyone. It was interesting because I was complaining to my brother about them and he said he didn't have them at all. I told him to take off his glasses and look at the white wall beside him and see if he could see them. He then said he could see tons of them. So it really is possible to ignore them.
    I notice them less now. I started taking beetroot juice which someone somewhere said was good for making them less transparent. No idea if it did anything (probably not) but as soon as I accepted them I forgot about them and rarely notice them anymore.
    For another example of how it is possible to ignore such things, your nose is always in your field of vision but your brain has gotten so used to it that it ignores it.

    Thanks Mousewar for you're reply! Glad to hear that yours do not bother you anymore! Do you mind if I ask whether yours were in both eyes and whether they were dark coloured! Did it also take long for you to accept them?

    Hopefully I can try and ignore them now! I have had stress the last few months but the reason for that has subsided now so hopefully that will help me to start ignoring them! The one sin my left eye are quite big so hopefully that wont mean I cant ignore them!
