	Floater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Floaters, or muscae volitantes (Latin: "flying flies"), are entoptic phenomena characterized by shadow-like shapes which appear singly or together with several others in one's field of vision.
		Floaters are suspended in the vitreous humour, the thick fluid or gel that fills the eye.
		Floaters are often readily observed by a doctor with the use of an ophthalmoscope or slit lamp.

		Floaters, or muscae volantes, are entoptic phenomena, or shadow-like shapes which appear singly or together with several others in one's field of vision.
		Floaters can be a nuisance and a distraction to those who suffer from severe cases, as the spots seem to drift through the field of vision.
		Ophthalmologists believe that the shapes may be shadows projected onto the retina by tiny structures of protein discarded over the years and trapped in the vitreous humour in association with the ageing of the eye.

	Synergy: The Floater
		The Synergy floater fades smoothly in and out of view providing you with information about the currently playing track; it automatically resizes fluidly to accommodate different amounts of text; and it floats above all other windows, yet never gets in the way because it still allows you to click through to whatever items are underneath.

	The SuperFloater
		The actual flying technique for the Super Floater is to turn the glider primarily with the rudder and elevator while using the ailerons to maintain the proper bank angle.
		As the Super Floater is rated at 4 gees positive and 2 negative, it is a utility rated aircraft, not an aerobatics one, but having done spins and stalls, I am certain that it would take major mishandling to come to grief doing this sort of maneuvers.
		Landing the Super Floater consists of flying down to the ground, then rounding out the glide to kiss the wheel to the ground, Once the wheel is touching, nosing the plane forward causes the landing skid to touch ground.

		If you suddenly see new floaters, or eye floaters accompanied by flashes of light or peripheral vision loss, it could indicate serious conditions such as diabetic retinopathy; vascular abnormalities such as retinal hemorrhages or carotid artery disease, or the beginning of a retinal detachment.
