What are Eye Floaters?

Floaters look like black or gray specks, strings or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes. These are normally caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (Vitreous Humor) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. As this happens, microscopic fibers within the Vitreous Humor tend to clump together and can cast tiny shadows on the retina, which can be seen as “floaters”.
