A member asked:
Sometimes at night there's a huge shadow like object floating around my eye, blocking my vision in that area as it floats circularly. is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: and sounds like a floater, but if its recent, it needs to be seen by ophthalmologist in next few days.
