Eye floaters are caused by small bits of debris, such as collagen fibers or protein clumps, that float in the clear, jelly-like substance called vitreous, which fills the inside of your eye. As you age, the vitreous gel can become more liquefied, shrink, and stringy, causing shadows or floaters to form on the retina. In some cases, eye floaters can also be caused by eye diseases, injuries, or inflammation.
The complications associated with eye floaters are usually rare but can be serious. In some cases, floaters can be a sign of a retinal tear or detachment, leading to permanent vision loss if left untreated.
If you notice a sudden onset of many new floaters, flashes of light, or a loss of peripheral vision, seek immediate medical attention. The best doctor for floaters is a retina specialist who is experienced and knowledgeable in the diagnosis and treatment of various retinal disorders, including vitreous detachment and posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
Floaters can also be bothersome or distracting, which may interfere with daily activities or cause anxiety in some individuals. However, in most cases, floaters are harmless and do not require treatment.
