I have some scary eye issues going in but im not going to scare you more. Eye floaters are very common! They have a surgery if you can stand them an opthamologist can see you amd discuss that with you. Eye floaters are okay. The viterous fluid pulled away and thats the piece of debris. It can be removed. Over time youll see past them. Okay i don't know where you live but where i live the opthamologist tell you of the suregry to remove them. Need to be an oothamologist. Extreme action because they do settle down.

Thank you so much for your response and I lives in the UK like I said I might had have them for quite sometime but it's only now that I has noticed them and when my anxiety trips in they seams to get worse because my problem is I sits down watching these things instead of trying to relax my mind of them but no but at least they made me to know that these comes with age which iam climbing up that ladder and another problem which I been suffering with most of my life is with dry eyes I tries alot of stuff but nothing same to help one thing though I been trying a warm cloth and holding to my eyes and that sames to help for awhile and thanks for taking the time to explain it to me .

I have lots of floaters, really bad, can't drive at night or in the rain very well.
The less you think about them you can get used to them - since I know they are harmless for some reason they don't bother me.

I too get eye floaters. They do not bother me at all. I asked my eye doctor if anxiety causes them. Her reply was no. She said you always had them but just did not react to them . But when anxiety us high you react. Don't worry, just try to not react and try to just let them be. You will be surprised how they will go away

Everyone I know has floaters. I had them for many years before the anxiety hit me. They are just annoying. I only notice them any more when I get a new addition to the "floater family."
In my opinion, they don't seem to be in any way related to anxiety.

I got eye floaters when my anxiety was at an all time high. They will calm down when you get this anxiety and panic under control. The zanax is not a daily antipressant,it is to calm you down when your at your breaking point. Therefore you will not get this under control until you get on a antidepressant. Do yourself a favor and please give them a try. You will get(normal) again. I don't say that lightly, because I suffered llike no other,I tell you.

Kimberly is right about the anti anxiety med. My life, if you could call it a life, was a horror show until I was put on an anti anxiety. Doc hit the right one for me first try. Whew! What a relief!!
I have had floaters for many years, and they didn't get any worse at all when the monster hit me. As I said before, whenever a new one showed up it annoyed me for awhile, then I stopped noticing. I don't see them at all anymore unless I focus on looking for them.
