What are floaters? And what causes them?
Floaters are spots that move about in your vision when you move the eye. They occur as we age and can be quite annoying. Unfortunately, there is no good treatment but the tincture of time for floaters.
However, if you have a new onset of floaters, your eyes should be checked and a dilated examination should be performed. A new onset of floaters with flashing lights that happens with one’s eyes closed, can indicate a serious ocular condition known as a retinal detachment and is an eye emergency! For more information, contact us.
