Eye floaters: Do they indicate a serious problem?

Mayo Clinic ophthalmologist Dennis Robertson, M.D., and colleagues answer select questions from readers.
Eye floaters
Most of the interior of your eye is filled with vitreous, a clear, jelly-like substance. Eye floaters are small bits of debris floating in the vitreous. They may appear as spots, hair or bits of string that dart into your field of vision. Although they can be bothersome, eye floaters in your eye are usually not a serious problem and don't require treatment. Most people learn to ignore them.

Treating Eye Floaters
The standard vision tests performed by opticians, which quantify your vision as 20/20 etc., are unable to truly quantify many aspects of the visual disability incurred by floaters and how these floaters in the eye can interfere with general day-to-day tasks and overall quality of life. For some, visual tasks such as reading, driving or general observations may become stressful or laborious.

It is always advised to wait at least a year to determine if the floaters may decrease or become less prominent naturally. If they do not, then one can consider laser surgery or vitrectomy. However, we must caution that surgical or laser treatment of floaters is not considered a standard management strategy for reducing floaters and is only recommended by a handful of physicians, even then, under exceptional circumstances.
