can eye floaters be different colours??

Hi,
Eye floaters are due detachment of vitreous (a jelly like substance) from the retina in the eye. These are seen more in older age, in high myopics (patients with high minus number), after any eye surgery. They are usually in the shape of dots or a thread. They are black or grey in colour. They are usually not multicoloured. One can have halos of light in multicolour. In case of floaters or halos, one should get an eye consultation done for a detailed eye examination.
Regards,
Dr. Gupta

I don't think so - I've never seen or heard of them being anything other than gray/black. I know it's supposed to be bits of tissue that has broken away from the wall of the eyeball, but it's still kinda' weird when you think about it, eh? Why aren't they red blood/tissue colour? Or are they just too close to focus on, so we lose out any colour that might be there? Now I'll be wondering...

Not sure but mine are usually white and sometimes they will be half black and half white.
