[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 380305, member: 4085"] GN she did. As we understand matters floaters are a normal part of the development of the eye. The number you have and how much of a nuisance they are is quite variable and need not mean anything nasty. What CAN be nasty and [B][I]MUST[/I] be checked immediately[/B] is sudden changes in either numbers or appearance of the floaters that are 'normal' for you. I stress the normal for you bit here. Marg has always had some floaters as have I. What sent us to the ED (when we s-o-o-o-o did not want to be there) was the fact that she had a sudden change over a matter of minutes from her normal situation of a few clear floaters to a large number of [COLOR="#a0522d"][B]brown[/B][/COLOR] floaters accompanied by flashes of light. It was the sudden change of state that made an emergency of the whole thing, although the flashes of light were also a big worry. The flashes have resolved for the moment, she is being watched by a good eye doctor but the floaters are still there in their now increased numbers - she tells me they fading slowly in colour (I'm sure she will correct me if I have this bit wrong).
