Eye floaters

Now I'm also getting eye floaters...... black dots mostly and some lines some squiggly..... some of them look like little cells.  What in the world!? Where did they come from and why don't they go away?? I notice a few more everyday it seems. How can you tell if its not a vision problem? Like with the retina?

yeh thats how mine are. Sometimes they are on a line but sometimes the line looks like a squiggly which i say looks like a worm lol I have had chains of them sometimes maybe like between 6-10 of them on the same line before. I want them to go away. I am trying to not focus on them but it is hard. And yes I cannot wait to hear what to look for in the straw too lol

Justnotsure-

Yup, that pretty much decribes mine....... except the circle like things look like they are more so attached to the lines..... sometimes just one dot, other times 2 or 3 on the same line.

Mine still won't go away, I'm the kind of person that refuses to believe this is part of my everyday and there has to be something somewhere I can do to get rid of them.

And maybe soon we will find out what to look for at the bottom of the straw. =D

I am only 31, so "old age" floaters prolly isnot my problem either lol

Beanbandit and everyone else

Mine tend to look like alot of round white cells with a black outer line with a black dot in the center and sometimes they form a worm like creature, connecting together to make a squiggly worm like creature lol and sometimes they are all spread out and wierd looking, some bigger then others(i think because it is closer to my eye focus. I also get brown hairlike creatures flashing in front of me as well.. dont know what the hell that could be.

Nah, you're too young for 'old age'' floaters.  They start in middle age (40s).

And yes it seems like mine change to although I haven't seen them change when I was looking at one but a lot of them look like you described...... some seem to change and some seem to stay the same.
