Did You Know…<\/p>\n

While floaters appear to be something in front of your eye, they are actually the shadows of tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye.^{1<\/sup><\/p>\n}

Floaters<\/h1>\n

The inside of our eyes are filled with a gel-like substance called vitreous. As we get older, the vitreous becomes thicker and begins to shrink and change shape. Clumps may form and create shadows in our field of vision which may appear as specks or dots, squiggly lines, cobwebs, or clouds which move or “float” in and out of view with our eye movement. These spots in our vision are referred to as floaters.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Floaters can be annoying but typically are not reason for alarm. They are often more prominent when looking at something bright such as a blue sky or a plain background such as a blank wall or white piece of paper. Floaters can indicate a more serious problem when they are suddenly more prominent, increase in number, or are paired with loss of peripheral vision or flashes of light. This may be a sign of a retinal detachment which needs immediate attention.<\/h5>\n
