I wonder if I tried to give my eyes a good rinse in the shower I might wash it away, but I never think to do it. It does not bother me much and like the other complaint, it is not noticeable unless I look at the sky.

Any ideas what these are?

Thanks

Lol...those are 'floaters', usually a deterioration of the gel layer in your eye. Nothing to do about it. Like you said - most noticeable against a clear blue sky. Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect your eyes. I have them too, most people do I think.

Here's more info -

P.S. The guitarist from Queen, Brian May, is obssessed by these and I think he made a website about it. Why I know this I cannot really recall...
