Almost everyone notices occasional transparent specks or cobwebs drifting across their vision. While many floaters are harmless condensations of the aging vitreous gel, a sudden shower of floaters accompanied by flashes of light can signal a retinal tear.
When to Seek Same-Day Retinal Evaluation:
- Sudden appearance of dozens of new floaters.
- Repeated lightning-bolt flashes in the corner of your eye.
- A dark shade beginning to obscure your vision.
