A member asked:

I have constant "eye floaters" in my left eye. i'm only 23 and i noticed them during my second pregnancy (i'm 32 weeks). could it be serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a Provider: May be something in the vitreous, but see a Provider to have your eyes checked out. Make sure you are wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes and don't look directly at the sun.
