Not to alarm, but my brother had those right before being diagnosed with glaucoma. He was probably 44ish at the time. They were more towards the center of the eye though.
Worth checking out. |

Anyone else get fractals if you press your palms into your eye sockets while your lids are closed? Usually purple rotating fractal pattern like a mid 90s screensaver.
Oh, and no floaties here. Though I do notice that with OTC sleep meds [diphenhydramine], my ability to focus my eyes goes before I get drowsy. Not in a drowsy way, but in a farsighted way, utterly unable to focus on text, which sucks when I try to supplement the sleep aid with reading to bring on drowsiness.

Got them when I turned 40. Eight years later, they haven't gotten worse and I'm used to them.

Take 2 doses of antifreeze per day. Clears it right up.

I have an Africa shaped floater in my right eye, from an ice pick accident when I was a kid. I slipped with an icepick and jabbed myself in the eyeball, requiring internal and external stitches on the white part of my eye just below the pupil.
Last year I was diagnosed with glaucoma in that eye. Have you always had it? If you also notice bright lightning flashes when you cough or sneeze real hard, or if you start getting tunnel vision, you might want to get it tested. That's evidence of your optic nerve detaching from your retina.

I have a few. Only notice them when looking at a white screen on the computer or a clear blue sky.
