white spots

[bell480]

Hello,
I get white spots alwalys in the corners of my eyes. And they always float upwards. I wear glasses so I do go to the eye doctor but they always say my eyes are ok. So do you have any idea what this could be?


This discussion is related to White flickering spots in vision.

I get this all of the time. I'm a 12 year old and I do not wear glasses, but my optitions say I have a ripped retena in my left eye (the only eye these bury white things come up in.). Hope I could help a bit :)

My mom's research, It may be that the blood in the very find veins in the eyes gets 'tacky', sticks together, and causes the vein to 'burst'. Mine last anywhere from 20Min to 1.5Hr. I take Green Tea capsules every day, they help keep the blood from getting 'tacky'. Also, drinking lots of water during the day helps me. Hope it helps.

God i thought I was the only one who got these, I get them sporadically and some times frequent but 10-15 seconds long.
But i remember these way back from when I was a early teen.
Is there anything that really explains why we get them?

I sometimes have symptoms like raindance42 in the other thread.

I get white-blind spots that flicker around the edges, and a MASSIVE headache afterwords.

But, It only happens the day after I don't drink enough water.
We don't know why I get these, but I HATE them.

Thank you for responding. Yes they have been around for awhile. A few years now, so I should not worry? What are floaters if you have time to explain? Can I get rid of them?

Are you describing what you see?  If so, it sounds like a floater.  If they have been present for sometime, I would not be concerned.
