Hey! I tried to comment on my own site and was spammed blocked! LOL! Anyway, I wanted to answer Chris and figured some of you might be interested in my reply. (Oh and if anyone has a clue what bad word I put below to kick up the Spam filter, let me know).

No, they said the floaters were just a result of being nearsighted. I have always had a few small ones. Unfortunately, even though Lasik changed my life and I don't have to wear glasses or contacts (well, they did write me a script for a small prescription if I want glasses for night) it doesn't fix the fact that my eyes are shaped oblong. So basically when you're nearsighted, there's more pressure in your eye due to its shape and more chance of that vitreous layer pulling away and causing floaters. I do need my Lasik touched up, though, maybe one of these days when I save up some money, ha!

And to anyone that is curious - I do recommend Lasik - IF you have a surgeon that has done it for many years - do not go to some local yokel eye doc in the box and expect good results.

Happy Birthday America and my pal Chris! Hope you have a great birthday!
