Floaters as they are called are small cells of tissue that become detached from the retina of the eye. They are not dangerous unless you notice a drastic increase in them within a short period of time. They are a common occurence and just about everyone gets them at some point in their life. According to my eye doctor, they can appear to look like neon lights and or little black specks in the field of vision, it varies from person to person. If you continue to have a problem plz see your opthamologist(eye dr.) In some cases they can be a sign of a serious condition occuring within your eyes. I hope this helps. Just sign me(a fellow floater)

Floaters is a condition in your eye. No, no cure. It is usually not serious. If all of a sudden you get a big increase of floaters and its noticable, you didn't say any other symtoms. Go to an eye doctor. You didn't say your age either, certain ages its more serious. Go anyway to the eye doctor, it is better to be safe then lose your eyesite.

well floaters are seen in the eye. its the similar to the stars which is shown in cartoons in front of the eye.
floaters in an elderly patient often occurs because of detachment of retina from its base.
its though to occur due to irritation of nerve endings of retina.
the treatment is laser photocoagulation. well keeping diabetes under strict control is the most essential thing.
well thats about it

Image floating,jiggling within your vision at any shape-tiny spot or tiny wool passing by your vision,not virtual shapes,not real image
Aging-thickened or shrink clumped ,breakdown vitreous gel / hit on head/eye injury-any eye symptoms-go away sometimes , only serious ones to be surgical-removing floaters
