My case exactly! Also mid 30's and I also have floaters unfortunately and according to my trustful ophtalmologist, there is little to be done about it.

It is not that I have a problem per se, but this condition made me realize that my eyesight won't get any better and since I depend on it for a living, well.

Same! It's one of those things nobody tells you about apparently. I remember being on a plane and looking out the window and seeing them everywhere all of a sudden, and naturally thinking something was majorly wrong. Rushed to the eye doc when I got home, he just did a few checks, shrugged, and said it's normal.

I had this realization while in snowy mountains. All is white and suddenly I thought that I had a lock of hair in my line of sight.
