Noticing small spots, strands, or “cobwebs” drifting across your vision?
Eye floaters are common and often a natural part of aging. In many cases, they’re simply changes in the vitreous — the gel inside your eye — casting tiny shadows on the retina.
However, sudden changes matter.
A rapid increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a dark curtain in your vision can signal a retinal issue that requires immediate evaluation.
When it comes to your vision, it’s always better to be cautious.
