Eye floaters

Has anyone else experienced these recently?  They started last week and they are very intermittent.  I've had them a couple times a day in the past week.  And they are mostly when I am looking at something brigher than my surroundings - computer screen, driving on a sunny day, etc.  I don't have a headache at all, but today my eyes started hurting as well. 

I plan on bringing it up to my doctor at my appointment on Thursday.  But, figured I'd ask to see if any of you had experienced this... Everything I've seen online either says it's nothing or it's pre-e (although some of that info doesn't mesh up).

    I posted about having one the other day. I've only had it the one time and it was while I was working at my computer. I also had a horrible headache that day too.

    It has since went away and I haven't had any problems.

    I've had them for decades and mine are not pregnancy related. They developed when I was in college taking art classes and using my eyes intensely all the time. As I recall, I also had borderline high ocular pressure then, too.

    Stewie and Peter Griffin have some thoughts on eye floaters, too:

    I was experiencing flashes of lights (almost like fireworks or shooting stars) - always white-ish. I mentioned to my OB but since my BP is low and no protein in my urine, they weren't concerned. I did go to an eye doctor (based on OB recommendation). H

    I've had them while pregnant and not pregnant. They meant anything from I stood up to fast to I was dehydrated to being an indicator that I was about to have a wicked migraine. So far my doctor hasn't been too concerned. I think it's something good to men

    Talked to my doc about the floaters today. He said that it can be related to per-e, so he's glad that I talked to him about it. But since my BP has stayed pretty steady throughout my pregnancy, and there's no protein in my urine, he thinks that it has mor
