Does everybody have floaters, but some ignore them and others see them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everyone will get: them eventually as we all get older. It's created from the shadows as the vitreous humor (jelly in eye) starts collapsing & going from jelly to liquid state as we age. So often it's not so apparent against a colored background or dark background & more apparent in blue sky & white background. As long as it's out of UR visual axis (vision), your brain will ignore it.If many floaters, see UR eye Dr.
