Normal eye floaters are caused by tiny pieces of the eye's gel-like vitreous breaking off and floating in the eye. They appear as small specks or strands in your vision. These floaters are usually harmless and common as people age. However, if you suddenly see a shower of floaters, flashes of light, or experience a loss of peripheral vision, it could be a sign of a more serious eye condition like a retinal tear or detachment. In such cases, immediate medical attention is necessary.

What are the causes and treatment options for different eye floaters?
Eye floaters are caused by tiny pieces of debris in the vitreous gel inside the eye. Treatment options for eye floaters include monitoring, surgery, and laser therapy. Monitoring involves regular eye exams to track changes in floaters. Surgery, such as vitrectomy, removes the vitreous gel and replaces it with a saline solution. Laser therapy can break up large floaters to make them less noticeable. It is important to consult with an eye care professional to determine the best treatment option for individual cases of eye floaters.
