Eye floaters are small specks or spots that drift across your vision. They're caused by tiny pieces of debris in the vitreous, the gel-like substance that fills the inside of your eye. While usually harmless, they can be bothersome, especially if they increase in number or size. Most floaters are a natural part of aging and require no treatment. However, sudden onset of floaters or flashes of light may indicate a more serious condition like retinal detachment, requiring immediate medical attention. Regular eye exams help monitor changes in floaters and ensure overall eye health.
