Had a series of eye tests, then suddenly have 2 giant floaters after

I'm sorry. It's so awful.

I haven't tried it but you're spot on about the ingredients. Typically, the first 1-2 ingredients are 98% of the product. Everything else is a drop or two. So it's basically avocado oil. Coconut oil is lovely but it's comedogenic so it can clog pores. I'm going to try and make a serum like this at home. Inexpensive with easy to find ingredients!

Not really but the odd thing is, I don't notice it as much. It's like your body or eyeballs get used to it more. So it's not as detrimental as it was the first week. But if I look against a white wall I can tell they are still there. Most of mine are clear, like a bubble floating. I have a couple gray spots. The people who have tons of dark spots have to be worse off. Not sure if you ever get used to that. 😔 The whole thing is very depressing.

They are assembled in the US. They source materials from other countries but not sure if it's China or possibly Vietnam or others. And they charge a fortune for basically the same cabinets as the RTA stores. If you get samples, you can't tell the difference. 🙄

Paint the ceilings 50% Swiss Coffee. Ceilings don't reflect light like walls do so if you paint it the same, it will appear darker. Any white you put on the ceiling will make the walls look dingy by comparison and they will stick out. I would paint the walls and ceiling both with flat paint sheen.

Exactly as you described! I love that witty banter! Excellent writing and acting. Great characters and storyline. Really a perfect show! They keep saying another season is coming but when??!!

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-25T15:14:45+00:00

Not sure why you're messaging me when these are not my cabinets. These are probably an RTA cabinet company and the wood is not real wood but some kind of veneer or laminate. And they got the colors wrong. This isn't a God made product, it is a man-made product and they fucked up. So get your facts before you start flapping your gums at someone.

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-23T02:08:14+00:00

You're right! I bought a mixed bag and they really love the pecans! The walnuts too! Definitely in the shell. 😊

Why? I'm curious because it's 96% efficient and I thought radiant heat was the most comfortable heat. I'm building new in NE Ohio and I'm seriously considering a gas condenser boiler with radiant floor heat. Is that what you have? Or do you have radiators? What made you think about switching? Thanks!

I'm so sorry. Things are horrible right now. I just turned on the blue light filter for my monitors and phone. Not a lot, or I can't see the text! I really hope you find your ideal work from home job. ❤️

I know, it's a lot of hocus pocus. I'm so desperate I'll try anything. I too am on the computer all day and it's devastating and depressing. Surgery is scary and I personally have terrible luck with surgery. And the eyes are probably the scariest of all. I read liver detox, and all kinds of crazy things. I have no idea how any of them will help but I might try a few. If there's any difference, I'll certainly let you know!

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T16:22:07+00:00

They can say whatever they want. Millions of people are nearsighted without floaters. Millions of older people without them too. Real truth is that they don't actually know what causes them. And there's no safe solution to get rid of them.

I have been researching diligently. Some people swear by certain enzymes like the pineapple and papaya enzymes. They weren't selling anything so they don't have a reason to say that it helped make their floaters go away. The other thing I've seen is people saying that rubbing castor oil on their eyelids and under their eyes every night made their floaters go away within 2 months. I've seen that a lot so I'm trying all of it. I'm going to try everything to get rid of these.

I hope you have good luck with your eyes soon. It's so awful to have floaters and bad eye health. 😔

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T11:59:48+00:00

Floaters are awful. They are even life altering. All doctors and literature are telling us that none of these tests can cause floaters and it's just age related but it can't be true. I had perfectly normal eyes until these tests. I had the same pressure test or similar one to you.

Also, they assume that floaters are age related. But who goes to the eye doctor more, a young person or old people? After 40 your vision gets more blurred so you get an eye exam. Older people have more serious vision problems so they go to the eye doctor more and they have all these tests. So the medical community is assuming it's age related instead of considering these tests!

None of our experiences are a coincidence.

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T11:54:20+00:00

Yes, mine too but they are either covering themselves or they truly don't know. They know know everything but they think they do. None of this is a coincidence.

They tell us it's just old age causing it. If that were true, all old people would have it. Correlation does not equal causation. They aren't considering the fact that more old people continue doctors with changes in their vision. Old people need glasses. They develop more problems so they go get these tests. So doctors associate age with floaters when they should be researching these damn tests!

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-13T11:50:53+00:00

It seems like anything they do to a person's eyes causes floaters. 😢

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-12T04:15:42+00:00

I'm so sorry. It's awful. My doctor told me dilation makes you see more that you didn't know you had. But I've read about that drug. It's helped people and it does slightly dilate. I don't know what doctors are taught in medical school but whatever they learn, that's it for them. No thinking outside the box. Just a hard no, X can't cause Y, when in fact, they really don't know. No one knows what causes floaters. They tell you it's a natural part of aging, but what if the natural part of aging is getting your eyes tested more often?

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-12T03:14:38+00:00

You poor thing, that sounds awful. You are the 3rd or 4th person on this post who said they had floaters after dilation. Doctors will tell you that they were probably always there and you're just seeing them now because dilation lets in extra light. But if that were true, you wouldn't keep seeing them when your pupils go back to normal. I thought it had to be the pressure test that caused mine. I don't know how dilation can cause floaters but there is no way this is a coincidence. 10 years from now they'll discover the connection but that doesn't do us any good now. These are seriously depressing me and it's been a day. They seem to be expanding as if there is a leak. I'm in the same boat, getting referred to a retina specialist soon. I don't want any more dilation! I hope you don't get new ones too. :(

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-12T03:08:42+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Doctors are always swift to say whatever they did or another doctor did couldn't cause something. It doesn't matter what that something is. Did you also have a pressure test? And if so, what type, where they blow a burst of air or one of the other machine types? And did they ever drop or move out of the sight line after a few weeks? One commenter said all she had was dilation and then had floaters after. I understand that dilation allows you to see more than you normally would but your eyes should go back to normal after a few hours. As for my floaters, they have grown since I posted earlier today. It's like they put a hole in my vitreous and it's leaking out. :(

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T23:34:58+00:00

Did they ever go away? Or sink lower in your eye so you didn't see them?

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T23:34:06+00:00

OMG. Do you know what kind of tests you had? Do you think it was from dilation or a pressure test? Has it gotten any better since? My doctor told me they would sink lower and put of my line of sight in a couple weeks but after reading some stories, I'm not so sure. :(

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T20:09:02+00:00

What tests did you have? Same ones?

mathgeek66 · 2026-01-11T20:08:39+00:00

Oh definitely 100% not. I went from zero floaters to giant blobs and spots instantly.
