> What intrigues me is the thought that maybe somehow the meds are making existing floaters more *visible* to me. It IS acknowledged that many peoples find their floaters more "active" after they've gotten insufficient sleep, which might suggest that perception -- the brain -- could play a big part, beyond the characteristics of the actual floaters.
>I would have to agree to some extent here. BTW, when I was on higher dosages of Neurontin I noticed that my visual field seemed "cleaned" and "clearer", almost a "Windex" effect of sorts (I know that is really weird). There was also less "white noise" in my vision (looking in the darkness-there was less "graininess"). Maybe the anti-convulsant effect slowed the firing of the neurons in my retina enough to "clean up" my vision??
