The Connection Between Getting Older And Floaters
Floaters like a bunch of cockroaches running around in your eyes can be experienced by up to half of all people
by the time they reach 80. If white flashes start in the side of the eyes then one of seven individuals at the same
time acquire retinal troubles like detachments or tears.
Distortion in your vision that looks like heat waves and seeing flickering lights that last
half an hour or so are common complaints of people who suffer from eye or ocular migraines. Commonly known as a
retinal migraine, these characteristically do not have a headache later on. It is believed that a blood vessel deep
in the brain tissue switches into and out of a spasm which is why these usually range from 15 to 45
minutes.
