What can floaters in the eyes mean: an accident or an alarm signal

Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes.

They occur when the vitreous fluid inside the eyes becomes more fluid.

Floaters are caused by changes in the gelatinous part of the eyeball and are not related to screen time.

Microscopic fibers within the vitreous can accumulate and can cast tiny shadows on the retina.

The shadows you see are called floaters.

Unfortunately, floaters in the eyes can become a real nuisance when you have to work at a monitor for a long time.

The best solution in such circumstances would be to reduce the brightness of your computer monitor and eliminate sources of glare.

It should be taken into account that spots in the eyes can be a sign of retinal detachment or rupture.

Retinal detachment, unlike an age-related condition, is a serious problem that requires medical intervention.

In addition, the causes of flies can be injuries, bruises, the ingress of a foreign body, or an inflammatory process.
