      My 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 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.

      Visual snow syndrome. Yeah, the fussy tv static you also see? Ain’t normal and also part of it. You likely have constant ringing in your ears? Tinnitus is almost always linked with VSS.
