Floaters

The symptom is seeing black dots, hairs, or debris floating in your field of vision.

They are called floaters because they look like mosquitoes flying.

This condition occurs when the vitreous humor, a transparent, jelly-like substance inside the eye, becomes cloudy and casts a shadow on the retina at the back of the eye.

Because of the symptoms caused by shadows, when you look at white things in bright light, such as a white wall, paper, or a clear sky,

It will become more noticeable.

In most cases, this symptom is caused by pre-existing physiological opacity of the vitreous body or opacity caused by age-related changes in the vitreous body, but it can also be caused by diseases that pose a risk of blindness, such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and uveitis.

This may occur.

If it is something that you have always had or is due to age-related changes, there is no need for treatment and it will often become less of a concern over time, so there is no need to worry. If it is due to retinal detachment, bleeding, or inflammation, early treatment is required, so a fundus examination is required to examine the back of the eye to check for the presence of any disease.

This is a symptom that can happen to anyone, but if you experience symptoms of floaters, we recommend that you get checked as soon as possible.

I will.
