In August 2013 while playing a round of golf at Cane Garden, we were threesome and I didn't have anyone in my cart with me. To my right I kept seeing this dragon fly, and everytime I turned my head he went away. I finally realized it was in my vision. I had never heard of floaters. BTW, I shot a 79 that day from the blue tees, which I normally shot mid to high 80's. I think having the eye problem made me concentrate harder.
As soon as I got home I called the eye specialist at the VA Clinic in TV at Mulberry. They had me come right in and checked everything out. They said go home and if you see a black curtain, call right away, after two days and nothing you'll be OK.
The floaters come and go. The worse was in the second year in 2014 during bright sunlight, usually when playing shortstop in softball or playing golf. It would be right in front of me instead of to the right. It became very irritating when I had to watch for balls hit right at me, especially line drives.
The good part was they saw I had cataracts and I had both eyes operated on at the VA Hospital in Gainesville in August 2015. The floaters have just about disappeared and my eyesight has improved from 20/40 to 20/25 from the cataract surgery.
