@klancee47 - I went to another eye surgeon in our area and they were incredible!! They eased my fears for sure. So she looked at everything... dilated my pupils, checked my pressure... she said that as you age (I'm 57) we get "floaters" caused by vitreous gel in our eyes shrinking and liquefying, causing collagen clumps and cell debris to form shadows on the retina, appearing as spots or cobwebs... So my floaters and floating blurry spot is a result of aging... She said that eventually my brain would adjust to it and I probably won't even notice it anymore. I sure hope that happens soon LOL... But at least I know there is nothing seriously wrong.

@juliannabeanie I have had floaters for years and don't worry about them. I worry about the other things that are happening in my eyes. Like the kaleidoscope vision, the partial black out in my right eye where I could not read anything on the right side, clear on the left but not the right. SO I went to the doctor yesterday about he said I had a stroke in the right eye said a blood clot blocked my vision and passed on through. He said I could have been blind if it had not moved on. Scary. So he is watching it. Sending me for blood tests and wants to see me in a week.
