Eye Floaters Treatment

You may be wondering, what are eye floaters? For some people eye floaters cause severe visual problems, or are psychological disturbing. Eye floaters look like black or gray specks, strings or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes. Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid.

When this happens, microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump together. These clumps of debris float around within the vitreous cavity, and they can cast tiny shadows on your retina, which you may see as floaters. See your ophthalmologist if you have this problem, and in some cases you may be a candidate for a floater laser procedure.
