I've had a few since I was a kid but suddenly I got like 3 in each eye that are attached and spring back to the center of my vision. Eye doctor was kinda meh about it

Yeah that’s similar to my experience. I’ve always had the kind of clear worm looking ones but a few years back I started getting darker ones that like to hover right in my line of sight. Significantly more difficult to deal with.

I too was born with a shitload of floaters. Amount of it seems stable so far. I’m 36 now.
