FLOATERS

The floaters I want to discuss are not people living on boats or white water rafters or going down the river in summertime on an inner tube. It is also not those who drift from job to job or those trying to find root beer to mix with ice cream. I am referring to little black specks that race across our vision patterns. Our eyes see little black spots. They are called floaters.

“Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters.” (Mayo Clinic)

So they could be called jelly-eyes even though they are like little specks of some kind. I asked the Eye Doctor one time what caused these and he told me, “Too many birthdays.” I asked him three or four other questions about my eyes and his answer was the same for all of them, “Too many birthdays.” I think that explains floaters and a lot of other medical issues.

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!” Jesus
