    Yes, a lot of people get them. I only get them when I stare at something solid & look for them or first thing in the morning. Google it, theres a lot of info on it. Its normal.

    They're basically the eye equivalent of dead skin, they float around your eye a bit before being expelled. Not something to worry about.

    It's microscopic debris in ur eye. Nothing to worry about unless accompanied by pain or impairing ur vision

    Only worth worrying about if they are constant or impairing your vision.

  • It could be bad. My doctor said if I had floaters to immediately call him. But I had a retinal detachment so my case may be different than that of the average bear.

    I see them too. Don't know if it's normal but they never became a problem.

    A lot of people have this problem, including me. It's not really a problem, it's just kind of weird. Do some research and their might be ways to help it. But yes, it's normal.
