Seeing Things!

Not to long ago my wife was cooking dinner and all of a sudden she saw these white cloudy flashes in her eyes. She was trying to check facebook while waiting for dinner to finish and the spots she was seeing were so bad that she couldn’t even read her screen. She told me that tt scared her a bit because she had been coughing so much she started to think she had somehow damaged her eyes with coughing so hard. After about 20 minutes or so they started to fade. I looked it up on the internet and found what she was describing is called floaters. I guess it’s not all that unusual but it was pretty weird for me. I immediately started thinking that something was wrong, but she was fine. I told her to stop using her wrinkle cream, she told me that wasn’t the problem.
