Don, Can't help with the skin but for the eyes, what you have is floaters, ---------- In most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process and simply an annoyance. They can be distracting at first, but eventually tend to "settle" at the bottom of the eye, becoming less bothersome. They usually settle below the line of sight and do not go away completely. Most people have floaters and learn to ignore them; they are usually not noticed until they become numerous or more prominent. Floaters can become apparent when looking at something bright, such as white paper or a blue sky. Floaters occur when the vitreous, a gel-like substance that fills about 80 percent of the eye and helps it maintain a round shape, slowly shrinks. As the vitreous shrinks, it becomes somewhat stringy, and the strands can cast tiny shadows on the retina. These are floaters --------------- I have those floaters for more than thirty years and usually nearsighted people get them. Was told they start after a major stress in your life???????, actually mine started just after my mother died.... If you see an eye specialist ask him about floaters. Hope this helps you. Jackie
