Floaters

more about Floaters


  • These are "floating" spots that are seen before the eyes, usually caused by abnormal dark spots floating in the thick fluid of the eyeball.  They are not medically significant and require no treatment.
  • Rarely, floaters can be caused by Vitreous Hemorrhage (bleeding in a portion of the eyeball), posterior vitreous detachment (detachment of part of tissues of eyeball), or Posterior Uveitis (infection or inflammation of the eyeball.)  Also, sudden-onset floaters with "flashing lights" can indicate retinal tear or detachment.
  • Floaters, even though usually benign, should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist (medical eye doctor) to rule out other causes.  As above, if floaters are associated with any other eye symptoms, this is a medical emergency and needs immediate evaluation, or blindness may occur.
