Stare at a white wall for a few seconds. See any tiny bubble-shaped shadows or stringy things floating across your visual field? If so, you've got floaters -- harmless bits of cellular debris swimming around in the vitreous part of the eye. They get more common with age and are nothing to worry about, typically -- unless you suddenly see lots of them, along with vision loss, pain, or sparks of light. If so, get yourself to a doctor as soon as possible to make sure you don't have retinal detachment or another serious eye condition.
