Let's see, I have osteo-arthritis, which affects many of my joints. I've learned to live with it, even though I do complain a lot.
Now, I need to see my eye dr. There is something in my right eye... like a little black spider floating inside my eye. Really, really annoying! It is so weird. It actually moves around as I try to focus on things. I looked it up on 'Med-Net' or some such site, and they call them 'floaters'. We'll see what my eye dr. says next Wednesday.
What next?

People who are nearsighted are more prone to eye floaters. Excessive computer use or near work may contribute to the onset of floaters as well. As one ages, the vitreous gel (which helps maintain the shape of the eye) starts to liquefy, adding more stress on the connective tissue between the vitreous sac and retina, thereby increasing one’s risk of getting eye floaters.
Sometimes an eye floater may be simply debri left over from fetal development where blood vessels no longer needed did not completely dissolve, leaving bits of debri in the vitreous gel. This debri may have just been out of "field of focus", then for whatever reason floated into view.
Anyone experiencing a sudden increase in eye floaters should get examined by their eye doctor.
Diet, lifestyle, and specific nutrient supplementation can play a role in preventing eye floaters.
