White cotton-like floaters in the field of vision are often caused by changes in the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance in the eye. As we age, the vitreous can shrink and pull away from the retina, leading to the appearance of floaters. Other potential causes may include eye conditions such as retinal tears or detachments, or inflammation in the eye. If these floaters are accompanied by flashes of light or a sudden increase in their number, it is important to consult an eye care professional.
