You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They are called floaters. You can often see them when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or blue sky. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. Although the floaters appear to be in front of the eye, they are actually floating in the vitreous fluid inside the eye. What you see are the shadows they cast on the retina, the nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and allows you to see. Floaters can have different shapes: little dots, circles, lines, clouds or cobwebs.
If flashes and floaters are something that has become a problem in your life please be sure contact the doctors at Texas Eye Institute. Our experienced Houston eye care professionals will be able to diagnose your condition with the latest technology and then suggest an appropriate treatment protocol to help your specific problem.
