It is challenging to try to describe all the different types of floaters each person experiences: specs, little circles, squiggly lines, bugs, flies, butterflies, flags, veils etc. Some are dark/black and some are lighter. Some are big and some small.

My worst floaters were a bunch of very small floaters (75 or so tiny circles) that covered a considerable area both vertically and laterally and, consistently, passed through my vision field. Driving became maddening and scary so I had my FOV done December 3. I’ve updated results in this group periodically.

As Susan said, it makes sense to allow time for your recent onset of a few floaters to settle and/or for you to neuroadapt to them. Essentially, your mind may be able to “blow them off”, so to speak, after a while. I’m 62, so you, being 29, have plenty of different considerations in how to best treat this condition. Good luck with your retinal specialist!
