I'm not sure what I have would be called shimmering, as I understand it from previous posts. To me, it just looks like the old floaters, but only in a couple of places on the periphery of my vision. The dr. couldn't remove all my vitreous because I have had a retinal tear repaired by laser. He was afraid of messing with that and causing more problems. He said he did think that he removed everything in my vision field. He thinks what I'm seeing is some white/inflammation cells still left over from the infection that have "caught" on the old vitreous. If I'm moving my head around alot, I can actually see things "fly off". They then dissapear (dissolving, I guess). He thinks over another month or so they will go away, and I probably won't see anything else in the periphery.
