Your eye is filled with a clear jelly-like fluid called vitreous gel. Floaters are tiny clumps of gel or cells that are inside of that fluid. Floaters will most likely seem that they are in front of your eye, but they are really floating on the inside. They can appear to have various shapes, such as dots, lines or circles.
As you get older, the vitreous gel in your eye may shrink or start to thicken which can form clumps in your eye. In some people, the vitreous gel can actually pull away from the back wall of your eye and this causes a posterior vitreous detachment. We find this to be the most common cause of floaters.
Most eye floaters do not require treatment. Most of them will fade over time. If the eye floaters start to impair your vision, we may recommend that you be treated with either laser removal or surgery.
