Giant eff'n floater!!!

AJ/FormS said
I don't mind floaters cuz they come and go, and so far, are easily blinked away. But the lightning bolts I used to get for no reason, that I could not even tell from which eye they originated (which persisted with eyes closed even), those scared me. But that was a long time ago. At 68ish now, I haven't seen any for several/many years. And I no longer wear corrective lenses, my eyes are now the best they have ever been since puberty. No doctors for me, you know my story.....Thank YHWH.

Those lightning bolts are called Vitreous Detachment. The vitreous of the eye is shrinking and pulling away from the retina. It comes with age. When it finally breaks free, the lightning bolts disappear until the next one happens. The detachment sometimes causes floaters. That was from my Ophthalmologist when I was experiencing them a few years back.
