I've had them for past 2 or 3 years.

My dad, whose eyesight was worse than mine (before he got laser surgery) had them so bad that reading became difficult for him.

They seem to be more prevalent after a night of drinking beer. ** -- soldcokesatLane 09/16/2018 12:19PM

If you think they are a beeyatch, give a scratched cornea a try. ** -- thankbud 09/16/2018 12:07PM

Thanks. There is some debate about if they go away or not -- HokieR 09/16/2018 08:44AM
