According to the Mayo Clinic, they often resemble black or gray dots, strings, or cobwebs. Floaters move when your eyes move and can seem to dart away when you try to focus on them directly. They are very common and usually harmless, affecting about 70% of people at some point in their lives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"824\"><strong data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"505\">What Causes Them?<\/strong><br data-start=\"505\" data-end=\"508\" \/>Floaters are typically caused by natural aging changes in the vitreous\u2014the clear, gel-like substance inside the eye. As we age, this gel begins to liquefy, and tiny fibers within it clump together. WebMD\u2019s Rick Ansorge explains that these clumps cast shadows on the retina, which is what causes the floaters you see.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"1120\"><strong data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"847\">When to Seek Help<\/strong><br data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"850\" \/>While floaters are usually harmless, the NHS advises seeking medical attention if you notice a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, blurred vision, or eye pain. These could be signs of more serious conditions like retinal detachment, which require urgent care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1441\"><strong data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1143\">Managing Floaters<\/strong><br data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1146\" \/>Most floaters fade over time and become less noticeable. If they\u2019re bothersome, moving your eyes\u2014such as looking up and down\u2014can shift the vitreous and help clear your vision. Supporting your overall eye health with a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and Vitamin A can also be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1604\">Understanding floaters helps distinguish between normal age-related changes and symptoms that need medical attention, ensuring you protect your vision long-term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are Eye Floaters?Eye floaters are small shapes or specks that appear to drift across your field of vision.
