Vitreous floaters: Moving dots in one's vision are common you should have them evaluated because they may be a sign of bleeding or retinal tear inside your eye(s).

Vitreous detachment: Floaters are caused by the vitreous (jelly in the eye) detaching from the retina (typically a normal change in the aging eye). The vitreous clumps up or develops blurry areas within the jelly causing your floater. Yes they can be a warning sign. If when the vitreous changes, causing floaters, the retina is torn you are at risk for a retinal detachment. You should have and examination.
