Floaters: Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index and motility within the eye's vitreous humor. The common type of floater, which is present in most persons' eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humor. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly before the observer's eyes. A comprehensive dilated eye exam is recommended.
