I generally have mine checked every 4 months now, but that's because of the retinoschisis. I used to have them checked every 6 months.

It sort of sounds like it might be floaters to me. I'm under the impression that for they most part, they are nothing to worry about and almost everyone gets them from time to time. I used to get one every now and then and thought it might be something like a speck of dust on my eye, but that turned out to be wrong. If you have a lot of floaters, it could be a warning of a detached retina and that should be looked at immediately, if not sooner. I'm under the impression that with a detached retina, they can go away but you still have the problem.

I feel just to be on the safe side, it might be best to see a doctor about it. Are you seening any "flashes"? When I have them, everything turns white for a moment. If you should have something like that, I'd go to the doctor immediately.

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .

Say you want me
with you ,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go to . . .
Christine,
that's all I ask of . . .
(you)
