[QUOTE="SugarDaddy91, post: 2257716, member: 411090"] Hello, Josh. Are you near sighted? As Dark horse mentioned, floaters can be a sign of bleeding into the eye's jelly. It could also be a sign of a retinal detachment, but generally, you would have a decreased field of vision or severely reduced sight. Most commonly, a sudden increase in floaters are caused by something called a posterior vitreous detachment. The jelly in your eye is connected to the retina on all sides, but as we age, this jelly degenerates and becomes smaller.(if your eye is long, i. E. You're near sighted), then it could happen at younger ages as well. Your eyes should definitively be checked as the common posterior vitreous detachment can sometimes tear a piece of the retina along. If that happens, you could potentially develop a retinal detachment. This rarer complication needs surgical intervention and the sooner, the better. A rarer, but not at all rare complication could be vitreous hemorrhage. These can be big or small and depending on the size of the bleeding, it can hinder your sight pretty bad for as long as the blood stays in the eye. Usually, the bleeding will stop without further need for treatment, but oftentimes, the bleeding is severe and needs help in the form of sirgery or an injection. Take it easy and be calm until you've seen an ophthalmological specialist. Lifting heavy stuff and the likes could exacerbate things either way. Stay safe! [/QUOTE]
