I've gotten to know many of my floaters over the years. Some of them even have names. Like Jerry. One strange symptom popped up about 2 yrs ago. Whenever I look to the left or the right, I see lightning in the corners of my eyes. It's only really noticeable at night when I'm driving. I have since had my eyes checked and they are ok. But one must ever be on the look out.

I stopped taking lutein for a whole year, and floaters resulted. Plenty of other years that I was taking it that they could have chosen to pop up, and thereby fully prevent any idle speculation that there was a connection between the two.

Never heard of that. But there are some studies supporting lutein reducing floaters:
"A small study published in the journal "Nutrition and Metabolism" found that people who took a lutein supplement for 12 weeks had a significant reduction in the number and size of eye floaters. However, larger and more rigorous studies are needed to confirm these findings."

More potential eye problems. Went to the VA Hospital Optometry dept a few days ago and got my eyes checked. Doc called back a day later saying there is a slight possibility for glaucoma. Great. He said it may be nothing and wants to check it with a better machine in Feb. The treatment is eyedrops for the rest of your life or you'll go blind. I couldn't go on being blind. Everything I value in life except for talking to my voices and listening to music involves seeing. But who knows. It may be nothing.

Know someone who has it extremely bad, but they do maintain their sight with the eye drops. And that's with an array of other conditions compounded on, ranging from heart problems to insulin treated diabetes.

Was jolted awake last night and saw above me for a brief instant a glowing blue ring of plasma-like energy that also made an electrical crackling sound as it descended upon my face. Hallucinations rarely involve two simultaneous sensory modes, in this case sight and hearing. No big deal..I just take it as a sign/symptom of my accelerating evolution into a higher energy being. lol

Well, belief of evolving into an energy being is likely linked to hallucination.

I don't think there is any causal link between one's beliefs and hallucinations..Billions fervently believe in Jesus Christ, but very few hallucinate him.

Very few believe Jesus is on earth or would manifest to them. Hence, very few hallucinate Jesus.
