What causes the floating dust in the eye?

The floating dust you are asking about is called myodesopsia or more commonly referred to as "eye floaters." It is a perfectly common thing to experience. They are caused by specks of debris floating in the vitreous fluid (the liquid that makes up most of the eyeball). People start to notice more and more as they get older because the vitreous fluid starts to solidify (like jello) as you get older and the debris floats at a slower pace.
