I must admit, many of the articles published on this site are driven to find a solution to a problem I have. I wanted to do an article on eye floaters for a while (this has been sitting in my to-do file). I recently came across an article at Organic Health, and this prompted me into action. I have had floaters for about twenty years. It’s something I have learned to live with. It is not painful or sore, but it can be annoying. I have looked at having surgery, but the risks of making it worse and possibly injuring the eye is too high.
This article discusses what eye floaters are with a short article and video and if there are any natural remedies to try.
Eye floaters are small moving spots that appear in your field of vision. They may be especially noticeable when you look at something bright, such as white paper or a blue sky.
Eye floaters can be annoying, but they generally don’t interfere with your sight.
Occasionally a particularly large eye floater may cast a subtle shadow over your vision. But this tends to occur only in certain types of light.
Most of the time people learn to live with eye floaters and ignore them. And they often improve over months to years. Only rarely do benign eye floaters become bothersome enough to consider treatment.
But sometimes eye floaters are a sign of a more serious condition. You should seek immediate medical attention if you notice a sudden increase in the number of eye floaters.Immediate medical attention is especially important if the floaters are accompanied by flashes of light or a loss of side vision. If you have these symptoms, see an eye doctor right away. Without immediate treatment, you can have permanent vision loss. These symptoms may be caused by:
- Retinal detachment
- Retinal tear
- Bleeding within the eye
Symptoms of Eye Floaters
Eye floaters move as the eyes move. They generally appear to dart away when you try to focus on them.
Eye floaters can appear in many different shapes, such as:
- Black or gray dots
- Squiggly lines
- Threadlike strands, which can be knobby and semi-transparent
- Cobwebs
- Ring shaped
Once you develop eye floaters they usually do not go away, though they tend to improve over time.
