“Eye floaters are those tiny spots, specks, flecks and “cobwebs” that drift aimlessly around in your field of vision. While annoying, ordinary eye floaters and spots are very common and usually aren’t cause for alarm.”
“Risk factors
By Mayo Clinic staff
Risk factors for eye floaters include:
* Age over 50
* Nearsightedness
* Eye trauma
* Complications from cataract surgery
* Diabetic retinopathy
* Inflammation in the eye”

I’m nearsighted and 17. I didn’t know that those weird dots and stuff had a name! But I’ve had them for a while. Like since I was young..er. Is that normal? I can even see them now (I tried to see if I could find one) I guess I just ignore them, but they don’t interfere with my vision.


Can glaucoma have anything to do with this? Or is that completely unrelated?
edit/@ foot: ah ok. :D

Have you mention this to your doctor? You need a Dilated Fundus exam so they can see in the back of your eyes. It is not uncommon to have floaters but it does need to be checked by a doctor.
