Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I forgot to mention how VGs are different from floaters. I also have had floaters. So ... Here are some important distinctions. Floaters can have different shapes (caused by chaining together) ... usually a perceptible outline because they are actually leaked red blood cells ... and they move around as if they're in a gelatinous ooze ... because they are. And floaters are not " lights. " Floaters won't go where you want them to go. They are actual " chunks " of physical matter. Their movement appears to be two dimensional because they're in the fluid at the rear of the eye just in front of the rear wall, or retina. The movement is affected by the movement of your eye. Vitality Globules dance around almost randomly, like one person said ... kind of " like billiard balls bouncing around. " ... they are like little lights ... Their movement is NOT affected by the movement of your physical eye. They do not chain together. And, they move in three-dimensional space. i.e. some are closer than others ... .... and they move closer and further away ... though they do appear to be drawn toward people ... Example ... When someone is walking by on the sidewalk, the VGs over there are generally moving toward the person, the ones in the sky are " random, " and the ones close to me are gently falling toward me when I focus on them. Floaters are interesting to watch, but I don't think they have any practical use --Vince Rev. James Vinson Wingo, DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
