Retinal floaters are small, shadowy shapes that glide across your field of vision, often showing up as spots, threads, or cobweb-like structures. They occur when tiny clumps of gel or cells form in the vitreous, the jelly-like substance inside the eye. As the vitreous diminishes with age, these clumps cast shadows on the retina, resulting in the appearance of floaters. Although floaters are common and generally not dangerous, they can be distracting and annoying.
In most cases, floaters are harmless and don’t require medical intervention. However, if you experience a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a loss of peripheral vision, it could signal a more serious issue, such as retinal detachment. Early diagnosis is key for preserving your vision and preventing potential complications. At Eye Center South, our retina specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to thoroughly examine the health of your retina and recommend appropriate treatments. While many floaters fade over time, in some cases, laser treatment or vitrectomy may be necessary for more severe cases.
