So what are eye floaters?

According to the experts, eye floaters are spots in your vision.

They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly.

Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes, it is claimed.

According to Optical Express: “If floaters are significantly affecting your vision and don’t clear up on their own, a type of surgery called a vitrectomy can be carried out.

“The procedure is an eye floater cure, involving replacing the gel-like liquid in your eye with saline solution. This can help to eliminate any floaters that you may have.”
