I've had the same floater in my eye for just over a year. It has stayed the same shape as far as I can tell, and I can only see it in certain light. Is it normal?

    I never realized they could last so long. Whenever I get them, they seem to disappear before I even realize.

    4 years and counting for me. Eye doc says it's normal, benign, an will eventually break down.

      This. You'll find it's harder to view when you look at darker things probably... and that it'll be easiest to see when you look at light things, like a light sky.
