Eye floaters and spots: This is what they mean and how to improve eye health
Eye floaters are common, harmless specks caused by collagen clumps in the eye's vitreous, often appearing with age. While usually benign, a sudden increase, flashes, or a curtain-like shadow signals a serious condition like retinal detachment requiring immediate medical attention. Lifestyle practices can ease discomfort, but severe cases might warrant medical procedures.
