The spots are probably "floaters" JPM and nothing to worry about.......not saying Mr. Hardhead shouldn't go and get his vision checked.....he should....if nothing else than to rule out glaucoma which the likelihood increases with age........now if he starts to see halos around lights that is a totally different steer to deal with........that definitely could be the signs of glaucoma.......I have had these "floaters" since my 30's........scared me to death the first time that I saw them but I'm a hypochondriac and not like your hubby.........your risk is esp. increased if you are near-sighted (see objects better closer up than farther away)...the doctor informed me that bits and pieces of your internal eye makeup tear away and float around......they are most notable when gazing upon white backgrounds and they'll come floating across ever so often......hence "floaters" and its name...........just annoying .......I have them, too.....
Maybe you can "guilt" him into going eventually..........
I know what the floaters are I get them once in a great, great while but what ever DH has when he described it a year ago definitely sounded like Glaucoma. He is so stubborn about going to a doctor so am I but I do go to the Doctor. My site is better far away than close up I don't know what his is because he will not admit to anything. I wear reading glasses but he is the kind of person that would never admit he needs glasses. At this point I just want him to go find out what the problem is or isn't.
