Yeah afaik it’s just normal dead cells but if there’s loads it’s a sign that things are falling apart.
Comment on I'm never lonely cuz i got these little guys with me :)
Mamertine@lemmy.world 9 months agoMy eye doctor calls them “floaters”. They’re pretty common from how the Dr talks about them. Dr says come in if there’s suddenly a spike in them. I gather that’s a sign something bad is happening with the eye.

I got a sudden spike in floaters… Fun fact: Retinal repair is a lot like spot welding… If you’re spot welding the back of your eye with a laser!

I got hit in the eye (long story short, my cousin learned to throw cards like Gambit and nailed me straight in the eye).
I was seeing flashes so went to an eye doctor, and they warned me of retinal detachment. Aside from the flashes, a sudden increase in floaters is another warning sign.

So he figured out how fo throw the cards, but has pisspoor aim. Yeah I have a cousin who was like that.
