I second the request. All us older folks need to minimize the "floaters"
particularly when staring at solid black 16th note passages. I do notice
that blinking several times before hitting those passages sometimes clears
it up. But with recent laser surgery for tears in the retina, I seem to have
some areas that are permanently distorted.

Dear Mr. Weinstein,
I also have problems with the "floaters" and would appreciate it if you
would share your experience with me. Perhaps this is important enough to put
out to the entire group ? I have found many friends also suffer this problem
and have been told there is nothing that can be done.
Best wishes, Bill Maynard klarinet@-----.net
