Anybody get those little thingies in your eyes when your looking at the computer screen? They get their name because they float across your field of vision like little worms or something.

Ralph 03-29-04, 02:56 AM Don't worry, you're just getting cataracks! ;) Naw, I get that sometimes, especially when I'm tired. I get eye strain much more often though, and I have to dim the computer monitor a bit. p.s. Ian, I think I'm in love. I found a car that I love regarding styling, as much as a late -90's Eldorado, SLK 430? Did I get the model right? It looks like the silver coupe Ben Affleck drobe on "Changing Lanes." Very nice car. $50,000 Cdn. HP?? Playdrv4me 03-29-04, 12:27 PM Don't worry, you're just getting cataracks! ;) Naw, I get that sometimes, especially when I'm tired.

Very nice car. $50,000 Cdn. HP?? NOOO!! NOT AN MB PRODUCT!!? :p I believe the one you refer to is the CLK430 and youre exactly right, thats the one BA drove in Changing Lanes. Its based on the E Class chassis I think. Let me dig up those HP numbers for you... Got em... 275HP and 295lb ft. of Torque. Nice car. airbalancer 03-29-04, 03:44 PM I get them only when I really need to see El Dobro 03-29-04, 09:46 PM Do a Google on "eye floaters" and read all about them. They're things that are floating around in the eye gel and you're seeing their shadow going by the retina. D148L0 03-29-04, 10:04 PM Play, El Dobro made an excellent suggestion. Even if most of times floaters are (as Ralph pointed) innocuous, they may be an indicator that something is going on. Long post made short, this site has very good info in plain terms. http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/spotsfloats.htm Just to make sure everything is ok.

I pulled out one of my medical books, and apparently, Cataracts can even be found in children and young adults usually the result of genetic defects or maternal rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy. The surgury of choice is EXTRACAPSULAR EXTRACTION. Both the cortex and lens are removed, but the posterior lens capsule is retained. Now Ian will be worried, LOL! Don't worry Ian, you'll still be able to drive that Beamer of yours with one good eye. :D FastCTS 03-30-04, 10:15 AM I've had them for years, you get use to them. But if you haven't had them checked out, you should. Brian El Dobro 03-30-04, 05:34 PM They actually run in some families. | |
