Re: 'Floaters' [structures reported seen by patients in interference with the visual field]

Q. Have you seen them moving, as in "living" motion, in other words not just moving with the field as you move your eyes?


A. No, I find it hard to look for long enough to see. I read a similar post to mine, and someone described it like looking through a kaleidoscope. That's what I see, apart from all the bright colours. The "worms" can be like interlocked but at times I can see them separate from one another. Definately a worm of some kind.
When I see a "whole" worm it's kind of entangled in itself, like a knot in the middle, and there is a long trailing bit at the end. I can see segments throughout. There is a kind of mucus in my eyes too. I'm not sure if the mucus protects them in some way. I definately wouldn't describe them as floaters or debris of any kind.
