This is called a vitreous detachment, which in most cases is not sight-threatening and requires no treatment. However, a sudden increase in floaters, possibly accompanied by light flashes or peripheral (side) vision loss, could indicate a retinal detachment. A retinal detachment occurs when any part of the retina, the eyeâs light-sensitive tissue, is lifted or pulled from its normal position at the back wall of the eye.
Studies of the most common individual U.S. birth dates show they always cluster from midsummer to early autumn, with minor variations. One study by the now-defunct data site anybirthday.com found the most common birthday to be October 5, and the least common, May 22. The Harvard study gave December 25, Christmas, as the least common birthday, and January 1 and December 24 as the next least common.
October is the tenth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and the sixth month to have the length of 31 days. The eighth month in the old Roman calendar, October retained its name (from the Latin octÅ meaning eight) after January and February were inserted into the calendar that had originally been created by the Romans.
