There a noticeable difference between floaters and black dots in eye sight?becoming concerned with center sight dots but they could just be floaters

Floaters: There are different kinds of floaters. Some are quite translucent and come and go even in early life. Others are a result of the vitreous gel inside the eye liquefying and eventually separating from the retina. The latter type are usually darker and more noticeable. These should be looked at by your EyeMD to differentiate and to be certain that there are no retinal problems.
