Dry eyes vs Floaters: Dry eyes can cause blurry vision or ripples in vision that come and go when you blink. If you see black objects or lines floating (when looking a white background), those are floaters and may be due to a PVD: posterior vitreous detachment which is common as we age. Any flashing lights, a burst of new black floaters, or seeing a curtain coming over vision needs to be evaluated by eyeMD emergently.
