I would have to say it is when you look at something and see a "floater " like a piece of lint or something going by but when you try to grab it there is nothing there because it is actually something in your eye.
Try optical. I think its something you get in your eye and it floats around in there.
rockyfella is right. They usually appear in older people as the fluid in the eye becomes less viscous and allows specks to float around more freely inside.
Little groups of cells that break off and float around in the optical fluid in your eyeball.
You can "see" them against a light background such as the sky.
They are harmless....or at least so my doctor tells me.
Vitreous floaters are cellular debris. One theory is that when we are very young, the vitreous humor is semisolid. As we age, the fluid softens and the cellular debris, accumulated over time, is free to move around.
Floaters are little specks or dots that come across your field of vision every so often. Sometimes they look like threads or spider webs. They generally occur in people who are 50 or older, but younger folks can get them to. They are annoying, but harmless, unless the person who has them suddenly gets a lot more, with flashing lights and other visual disturbances, which could indicate a retinal detachment. What you are actually seeing are shadows that are passing along the retina. In time floaters become less noticeable. I've had them for years, but was very traumatized when I first started seeing them, thinking something was very wrong with my eyes. But I see perfectly now, and scarely am aware of them unless I really try to find them.
