Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Wait, eye floaters are not normal?
I think having them sometimes is normal. Constantly though, not so much.
I have them constantly and this picture looks nothing like them lol
I think that true for all pics, it's a fairly cartoonish/exaggerated & simplified representation for normies to get it quicker & be more understanding/differently accommodating.
As for floaters, those are the only pals that don't leave me. They can't, ... but they dont, that's the main point here.
Ive not had eyefloaters as depicted in this image, but I did manage to get gaslit by people for a long time, telling me I was hallucinating, until I found out that entoptic blue field phenomenon is a thing.
I was the only person in my friends/family circle who was autistic enough to notice and attempt to describe it.

That kind of looks like visual snow, which I tried for years to get my eye doctors believe even existed. I know all too well that feeling of being gaslit by assembly line eye doctors just trying to churn out office visits as quickly as possible.
Now I want to look at the sky, but it is covered by clouds today and I'll probably forget when the sky is visible again
Thank you for this. I notice that also sometimes. I thought I just had some mild neurological condition that might be related to high blood pressure.
No problem!
Everyone I've asked has them too.
Floaters are normal, if one were to notice lots of new floaters, or have lots of flashes then they should be checked out by an ophthalmologist.

no.. at least nott if you you have them permanently
