Floaters, Retinal Tears, and Retinal Detachments

What Are Floaters?

As their name implies, floaters are usually small, black shapes that look like spots, squiggles, or threads, and "float about" in one's vision. They generally move as the eyes move, and are most noticeable against a plain bright background, such as a white or light-colored wall.

What Causes Floaters?

Refractive Errors

What are refractive errors?
Cross-section of the eye Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina. The length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens can cause refractive errors.

What is refraction?

Corneal Abrasion

A corneal abrasion is a scratch on the eye's cornea. The cornea is the clear, protective lens that (like a car windshield) is in front of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the pupil -- the black circle in the middle of the eye.

Eye Floaters

Eye floaters are spots in your vision. They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina, which appear to you as floaters.
