A member asked:
Sometimes i get floaters in the morning. not a lot of them, but very thin/small floaters. no vision loss. sign of going blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Floaters: Most floaters are caused by small flecks of protein called Collagen. Some causes can be injury to eye, high sugar in blood, aura of migraine headaches, but in your age & with no other symptoms or worsening of vision, you most likely have none of the above. If symptoms develop, consult eye doctor.
