Was diagnosed with a cataract, but I think it might be something else.

I had this (large floater) and it took maybe 2-3 weeks after I saw opthalmologist and was told it was nothing (before that one is naturally hyper aware). Mine was large but indeed my brain did learn to ignore it. I can still see it if I try but 95% of the time am completely unaware.

 

 

Thanks. I'll just be patient.

Your floater will never go away, it may sink down to the bottom of the eye but your brain will learn to ignore it and you will not notice you have one (or two).

 

How long does it take for your brain to learn to ignore it? The large horseshoe shaped floater that appeared a couple of days ago is still annoyingly obvious.

It varies from person to person. (sorry transam, you appear to be unlucky). For me it took about 6 months before I could ignore them. As Sheryl said, occasionally you are aware of them but most of the time you ignore them.

 

I liken it to shutting out my wife and her sisters when they are all talking at once. It took a bit of time but in the end, my brain just ignores them.

Me too. Really noticeable in bright sunlight. But, have you tried to track them? They just keep going until they disappear to the left or right. Better not to worry, and think about all the other aches and pains the joints produce.

Wait till you have lots. You've just given away your age Sheryl, you young pup. [emoji11][emoji9][emoji10][emoji8][emoji7]
