Understanding Eye Floaters
By Private Practice of Mr Mahi Muqit
Floaters are shapes that people can see drifting across their vision.
They are small bits of debris floating in the vitreous jelly inside the eye.
Shortsighted people tend to suffer from them more, and they increase
as we get older.
As we get older, a process known as vitreous syneresis occurs, the meshwork
breaks down and lakes form. The solid portion of the gel forms debris. The debris
casts shadows onto the retina, which we see as floaters.
What causes Floaters?

Treatments For Floaters:
Since floaters do not harm the eye, and in the vast
majority of people, they do not cause a significant
problem, and no treatment is generally recommended
for them. But a general check up is recommended.
Mr Mahi Muqit PhD FRCOphth is an expert eye doctor and eye
surgeon, retina specialist, and leading retinal surgeon in London.
