Cobwebbing of the eye, often described as seeing floating spots or strands, is typically caused by the presence of floaters in the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance inside the eye. As we age, the vitreous can shrink and become more liquid, leading to clumps or strands that cast shadows on the retina, resulting in the perception of cobweb-like shapes. Other potential causes include retinal tears or detachment, which require immediate medical attention. If experiencing new or increased floaters, it’s advisable to consult an eye care professional.
