Health alert astigmatism earthlings!
I was reading HealthHelp from MindyourBody Papers.
I finally understood what are those small dots moving in my field of vision; specks, strands or webs.
They are called the floaters.
They are more obvious when looking at a plain background like blue sky or so.
They are actually tiny clumps of cells inside the vitreous (the jelly-like fluid that fils the inside of our eyes). It is common for young people especially those who are short-sighted (yes I am).
The shadow of the floaters cast on the retina (light sensitive part of the eye).
They are inside our eyes and move with your eyes. However most of them are not harmful, but there can be some people who are interested to go for surgery.
I was told they if i see NEW floaters, consult doctor immed.
Pray bless no new floaters in my vision*
