Normal floaters: Floaters are often easier to see against a bright or white background. They are not typically stress related by put are related to normal changes won't the vitreous or gel that fills the eye. Less frequently accurate onset of floaters may indicate a retinal tear or blood in the eye. Acute onset of new floaters requires an ophthalmologist evaluation.
