Certainly 'normal' floaters (I have a few regulars) are more noticeable when viewing any plain pale large area - sky, blank piece of paper, PC screen, kitchen units.

I came to the conclusion that it was Scherer's Effect - I had just mis-remembered the name

However, as I say, I don't think it was normal f;loaters I experienced. The whole of my field of vision was

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Well Done, BigAl





Hope you are recovering well
