Eye Floaters?

[vmars]

I was tired last night so I rubbed my eye and I got some floaters in my right eye. I've never had them before. Is there anything that can be done to make them go away? I am calling my OB when they open. I am just worried because this has never happened before, ugh! The floater is fairly big, but moves around a lot (which Dr. Google says is a "good" thing i.e. not a symptom of pre-e). But it's incredibly distracting!

I have some floaters. I don't think there is anything you can do about it. I notice them more after looking at the sun or bright lights and then having a lighter wall in front of me. They are really annoying, but I feel like I get used to them. Some days I notice them more then others.

Try looking up and down or side to side rapidly a few times. It stirs up the vitreous fluid and might clear it.

Called OB and she told me to get an emergency eye dr apt. I have an apt at 9:30 am wish me luck

I get these sometimes, my OB said I might be getting silent migraines.

Turns out it is a popped blood vessel in my eye. Eye is not damaged so it should go away on its own in a few weeks. Phew!
