			<link>http://floatertalk.yuku.com/topic/3125/t/photosphene-after-strong-yawning.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Well while it generally isn&#39;t retina-only but since yawning changes the blood flow to the face/head and I ahve noticed some weak photosphene(flasher)  come
at random if I yawn hard enough all the time ...
<br>
so the question , could stuff like that put some forces inside the eye that could be related to a higher chance of floater formation (VH fibril clumping /
bleeding?)

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi fellow floater sufferers,
<br>
<br>
After having a panic attack I started seeing floaters in my field of view. It´s 4 months since it happened and I still see the same threads like the very first
day. Do the neurons play any role in this?
<br>
Has anyone had a similar experience like me?
<br>
<br>
Thanks and hope for all,

			<description><![CDATA[ I am 36 and it&#39;s been now almost 2 months since I developed floaters.
<br>
I have been wearing contact lenses for 10 years. I have been seeing perfectly well, blissfully happy with the clear vision. I have had very delicate and
sensitive eyes, that means I couldn&#39;t put on any make-up nor use any eye-liners because of the immediate bacterial reaction. However, I have avoided these
and everything has been fine.

			<description><![CDATA[ Basically, I&#39;m 100% convinced that my eye floaters are related to the fact that I have (self diagnosed) candidiasis.
<br>
<br>
The cell structures I can see floating are big and transparent brown, and when I squint I can see that they extend further into a network of tiny cells, which
I hope don&#39;t turn in to the same as the big ones. However, I believe they will, because that&#39;s how the big ones started off.

This is a depressing thought, because if the smaller ones do... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
It was during November cold in 2003. I was ill, had a sore throat that looked very dark (under flashlight) and high fever. My prescribed therapy was some
&quot;macrolide&quot; antibiotic in pills (for the curious, big molecule made of sugar chain derived from bacteria that live in soil). I was also prescribed
&quot;Tantum verde&quot; spray... ]]></description>
