Visualizing floaters: Is optimal when looking at a bright background. This allows the light to fall on the vitreous gel that has consolidated and cast a shadow on the retina. The majority of floaters are benign but a significant minority are associated with retinal breaks, tears or detachments. Have your ophthalmologist examine your retina for verification.

Schedule an eye exam: Floaters can represent various conditions from benign to serious. The most important thing is to schedule an eye exam to rule out a tear in the retina.
