Anybody ever notice, from time to time,
little floating worm-like things that
kinda follow your eye movements?
Sorta like worm-ish bacteria or something.
Can anybody tell me what they are? And
is it at all a serious thing?

I have them as well. Whether your eyes
are opened or closed you see little
squigglies? I see dots and squiggles.
And it's like they float... If you don't
move your eye, they seem to float down,
and as soon as you move your eye, they're
right there where you moved your eye to,
right?
My eye doctor asked me once when I was
really young if I had any of that, and
then before I answered he said "no,
nevermind you're too young for that" so I
never found out what it is.
It's strange I read this today because I
was thinking about it again this morning
and plan to bring it up at my next
checkup.

I have these as well. About five years
ago I talked with my eye doctor about them
at my eye exam. They are actually called
"floaters". She didn't give me any
specific information as to what causes
them, but did say that they probably will
not go away and there is nothing you can
do to get rid of them. Do a google
search for "eye floaters"...There is an
abundance of information out there.
