Hi there, I was searching the web when I found this site. I'm 20 years old and from the Netherlands. A few months ago I spotted floathers in my eye. First I thought it was just a little piece of dust, but it wouldn't go away. After a visit at the doctor he said that it was probably a Mouche Volantes (floathers) There are a few tine particles in my left eye (one larger piece and a few short polypeptides) I can live with it but it differs from day to day how anoying it is. Sometimes I'm not even aware of it, but the next moment, I focus on them the entiry time. But I do have a concern. I'm not sure, but probably they the little floathers will get bigger. Have anybody got experience with this and are there cases in which the whole eye is covered with floathers? Please help me out! Because of my medical study I'm familiar with proteinparticels en polypeptide structures, but my knowledge is making it more difficult for me. I can't stop thinking what will happen and what the consequences will be. Will I be blind etc. etc. It's making my mind go crazy!

Hello and Welcome Netherlands.
I had read that some people experience floaters that get worse over the years, but generally they seem to remain stable. Some report that doctors tell then the floaters will fade with time, but from the posts I've read, this doesn't seem to happen all that often. You may notice your other eye having a few floaters develop over the next few months as most of us floater sufferers get these things in both eyes within a short period of time.
I can sympathize with you on going crazy. Those little swirling shadows caused me great concern when they first appeared. Now I resign myself to having "snow globe vision" as I can't do anything about it at this time. I refuse to have this condition the rest of my life, but for now I'm content knowing that I will eventually get a FOV (floaters only vitrectomy) or whatever the best treatment available is in a few years.
