I have suffered from bad eye floaters ever since I took the poisonous antibiotic Ciprofloxacin last September. I also suffered many other troubling symptoms, some which have gone away, and some which haven't.

I am looking forward to hearing the experiences with others on this topic as I would love to say goodbye to my floaters for good!

i get asked everytime i'm at the eye doctor and never really got a grasp of what i'm supposed to be looking for. sometimes when i look at something a certain way i see what i've always like to think are some kind of single cell organism moving across my eye. is that a floater?

Eye floaters are very common in nearsighted people. If he is nearsighted, that's the problem.

hm. do you know what it actually is?It's a minute speck of tissue that has broken loose from the eye. Eeeeew...huh?

Okay, that's not entirely right. I looked it up and here's a link.

my eye doctor said it's simply dead blood cells... and it often happens with age. nothing to be concerned about.

but nope... haven't seen any since going raw.
