Old people problems. I had cataract surgery (light adjustable lenses), and now that my vision isn't like looking through smoke anymore, I can see the "floaters" more clearly. That's the term for clumps of protein in the interior eye fluid that tend to increase as we age. Sort of like looking at a drop of water with a microscope. Usually more obvious when I wake up in the morning on my back, looking at a painted ceiling. But sometimes visible on the periphery when I am upright and in bright sunlight. Sort of a  blur like the area around a small mosquito's wings as it flies near your eye.

I get those sometimes - not lately, though.
