Eye Doctor Explains What To Do If You Start Seeing

Eye floaters are small spots or shapes that drift across your vision.

They may appear as black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs and are common, affecting about seven in ten people.

What Causes Them?

Floaters happen due to age-related changes in the vitreous, a gel-like substance

in the eye. As we age, the protein fibers in the vitreous shrink and clump together,

casting shadows on the retina, which we perceive as floaters.

When to Seek Help

Floaters are usually harmless unless they suddenly appear, increase in number,

or are accompanied by flashes, blurred vision, or pain. These could signal retinal

detachment or other serious issues and should be checked by a doctor immediately.

Managing Floaters

Most floaters fade over time. To alleviate them, try moving your eyes up and down.

A healthy diet rich in omega-3, zinc, and Vitamin A may also support eye health.
