Anyone have them or know what I'm talking about?

They make it really hard to concentrate...

I don't think you're supposed to ask for medical advice on here. I would say see an eye doctor. Especially if you've noticed an increase in the number of them.

Dont worry OP. You can trust me. I'm a pre-med. Here is my diagnosis.

You might have an eye tumor.

lol went to the optometrist recently and he told me if I get them extremely frequently they can be a sign of a detached retina or other malady.

But yeah OP don't take our word for it head to the opto/opthamologist.

I have them. Get them checked out, but they told me there wasn't much of anything that could be done. It's only really an issue for me in one class that has a whiteboard. Looking at plain, light colored things drives me insane.

I'm not asking for medical advice guys. I am asking to see what you do to make them easier to deal
With.

Toning the brightness of my laptop/tv down helps a lot. Don't really know why. I just notice them less.

I work in a lab and everything (walls, floor,papers, labcoats, desks, machines) are all white. I literally go crazy.

Stop thinking about them. Seriously, I work for an Ophthalmologist and it's good advice; although, I'm reminded of them daily when he says this.

Otherwise there's nothing really than can be done. Supposedly they sink down out of the visual axis after a long period of time (years).

Yet that sounds like you're asking for medical advice. As you know that's not allowed so I'm closing this thread.

It's impossible to just stop thinking about them. If you have them bad you know that. Lol.
