In other medical news, I need to find a podiatrist, but he doesn't think that the floaters in my eyes are anything to worry about.

"See you this time next year, I reckon", he said, looking at my records. I don't go to the doc very often.

I've had floaters if you'll excuse the terminology :) If you're looking at something without blinking and the black blobs are "floating down" then it's exactly like what I had. My optician explained them as dead cells from the inside of the eyeball, they take ages to float down through the eye because it's full of jelly and they take a while to get through it. It happens every few years as the inside of the eye gets regenerated. It's only if you're seeing black blobs with lights around them that you're in danger of diabetes. I've got that now that I'm in the latter stages of DG and the pressure inside the eye is going a bit mad. This will go away for me once Seren's here, if this is what you're seeing then I'd definately go and get tested again.

Apart from all that, flaoters are just an inconvenience... especially when you're trying to read something!
