Changes in viteous: The most common cause of floaters is liquification of the gel in the center of the eye.It may also be hemrrhage related to tugging of the gel on a blood vessel.Itis important u see an eye doctor now because u may have also developed a tear, hole or retinal detachment associated withe floaters.

See an eye doctor.: New or worse floaters require an urgent dilated retinal exam by an eye doctor to rule out a retinal issue. Do not delay.
