Having an astigmatism that changes really frequently means I notice these more obviously within months of changing my prescription. Fuck these things!
For some reason this comment is what made me finally realise that I haven't seen floaters since I stopped needing glasses
wait does it mean my prescription needs changing? i dont know if i read that right
Near-sightedness makes you more likely to notice them, but I don't think it's a serious sign of anything unless you're seeing them so much that it's a problem. They're always there in healthy eyes, your brain just tunes them out most of the time. I would assume that changes in the way your eye focusses - either because of a change in the actual eye like the person above describes or because of a change in the prescription of glasses changing the light that enters your eye - just makes it more likely for your brain to not tune them out because they suddenly look a bit different to what your brain got used to
This! Thanks a lot for the explanation. My optician spouse explained it like this to me too
Huh .... I never noticed that I stopped noticing my floaters after getting glasses. When you have something like that for decades, you stop actively seeing those things.
