In an older person Posterior Vitreous Detachment. In middle age the Vitreous Gel inside the eye begins to degenerate and shrink, which can cause a separation of the vitreous gel from the retina at the back of the eye. This normal ageing condition leads to "floaters" or "Spiders" in the field of vision. Associated with the condition are flashes of light in the dark. Your vision is otherwise not affected. There is very little, other than wearing dark glasses, that can be done.
