A member asked:

How many people have the translucent/transparent type of floaters?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many: Floaters can be dots, webs, strings or blots. They can be black, gray or translucent. Any new floaters need to be checked out by an eye doctor. Check out http://www.2020vision.Com/floaters.Html for more info.
