[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 427023, member: 59"] I woke up Mother's Day with a bunch of black threads floating around in my vision of my left eye. Hoping these floaters would go away but the persisted all day and I could not read or use the computer much. Of course I was terrified I had a retina detachment or macular degeneration(which my dad has). I called my eye dr and she was able to get me an appointment at the retina specialists office. Thankfully I do not have a retina detachment or macular degeneration but the vitreous which is the clear gel stuff in your eye detached from the retina. It happens when we get older and the vitreous shrinks. It can lead to retina detachment at some point so I know the signs to watch for. Also I was told the black lines may never go away. They are actually a shadow created by the vitreous debris that is floating around. Has anyone else had this happen and what is your experience. Have the black threads or spots dispappeared?
