When light enters the eye and one is looking at a blank background, shadows of these opacities are seen as floaters. Gradual onset in both eyes is benign. Sudden onset in 1 eye may not be.

Just natural age : Related changes that occur naturally in the vitreous humor of the eye can result in floaters. It is true that floaters are themselves harmless and cast shadows on the retina.
