I thought I was nuts until I saw the Family Guy episode, too! Afterward I was like, "YES! I'm not alone!!"
LOL
My floaters are pretty severe. Several years ago it started off as one or two here or there. Now they're everywhere. When I look at a clear blue sky or something like that I'll notice
tons of them.
I never had any eye accident to cause them, though.
Although, I used to wear my contacts so much (and would sometimes accidentally take a nap with them on, which would annoy me because I hate that) that my eyes started begging for oxygen. So these little veins started growing up to the pupil of my eye. My optometrist said I had to stop sleeping with them on and we switched to Night and Days, which are supposed to allow the most oxygen through. I think they're called Night and Days ... anyway, she said if the veins kept growing they would eventually blind me.
So I started on the new contacts and made sure not to wear them all the time and the veins have started to recede. Although, once you have that happen, they never go all the way back. But at least I'm not blind!
... technically. I have a really hard time seeing that "E."
Maybe they should make it less blurry, and then I could see it better.
As far as touching my neck: I can wear turtlenecks, but only for an hour or less before I start fidgeting. Whenever I would go shopping with mom, I would hate it when she would take a shirt and stick it right under my neck so she could see what it would look like at me. I'd always squirm away.
I have the strangulation fear, and I'm also afraid someone is going to cut my throat. That's probably the worst one. Whenever I see that in a movie, I cringe and grab my neck. Eww.
Mindie, your husband is cruel. Funny, but so cruel.
My right eye is worse than my left eye, too. I've had people tell me it's weird to have two different perscriptions, one for each eye. I can't help it?
