ive been experiancing these "floaters in my vision ever since like 4 months ago im not sure what cuased it maybe it was that time i was poked in the eye 4 months ago so ive been wondering if it was a retinal tear or detachment but even that seems far fetched becuase if it was im sue id be blind by now but what im really worried about is that its gradually geting worse theres more floaters and now theres floaters in my right eye and now theres even red streaks in my left eye  and when i look at the sky its like it sparkles or something and i also experiance rainbow halos at night around bright lights such as a lamp lihgt or a iphone flash light and im really starting to freak out im 16 y/o and i explained this to my parents but they say it eill blow over or its in my mind can someone explain whats going on am i really crazy?!

    Not sure what if anything is going on but perhaps you could make an appointment to see your doctor and have a chat to him/ her about it which should put your mind at rest.

    I do not think the floaters are a lot to worry about as many people experience them.

    Do not get crazy about the symptoms within your eyes that you are getting!

    Halos around bright lights such as street lamps can be a sign of Glaucoma but I remember seeing these halos around the streetlamps when I was a child back in1960's at 5 years old in UK - I do not have these symptoms now but do have a  problem with dry eyes. I just think rather than looking for answers - just go and see your optician or doctor and get appropriate advice.

    I am sure that you will be fine but need to be reassured!
