Floaters are more noticeable if you are nearsighted so I have been told and
also seem to be more prevelant in the eyes of nearsighted people.  I first
noticed them during a bright sunny with 2 feet of snow on the ground.  People
thought I was nuts when I said I could see these spots moving around.  That
was in 1969 when I was 18 years old and they have been getting worse since.
Most of the time I don't notice them or pay attention to them but I wish there
was a way to get rid of them!
