They are called floaters. Eventually, almost everyone experiences seeing floater and it can happen at any age though is most common as reach middle age and older. The vitreous (a gel like substance that fills most of the eye) becomes stringy, pieces break away and we see floaters. Floaters can look like dots, tiny flies, dust specks or tiny squiggly strings. There really is no worthwhile cure and it is a normal occurrence. However, if you experience seeing flashes of light (often looking like lightening bolts), or blind spots (sort of like a veil covering your eye) this could be an indication of a retinal problem which could be sight threatening.. See an ophthalmologist or go to the Emergency Room immediately. If you have not had a comprehensive eye exam in 3 or more years, it would be a good idea to get one.



These are called floaters and are relatively common. So long as your eyes are Ok otherwise there is no need to worry
