Are seeing floaters in your vision bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Floaters:not too bad: Although they are a nuisance and bad in that way, floaters are little more than an annoyance for most people. They result from natural changes that occur in the vitreous gel of the eye. Most important is that new floaters or flashes deserve to be looked at by an eye specialist as well.
