A member asked:
Why do i have these floatings in my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common problem: Floaters are pieces of the vitreous gel within the eye casting a shadow on the retina. They are almost always benign in nature. If a large floater suddenly appears, or they appear along with flashing lights and/or a curtain in your vision, you should have a dilated exam right away as they could be an indication of a retinal tear or detachment.
