Most eye floaters are not dangerous and are a normal result of aging. However, if floaters suddenly increase in number, or if you also notice light flashes or vision loss, they may be a sign of a retinal tear or detachment—both eye emergencies. See an eye doctor promptly if this happens.

Often, floaters become less noticeable over time as your brain adapts and they settle out of your central vision. In rare cases, large or bothersome floaters might persist. Most do not require treatment unless they significantly impact vision or signal an underlying eye problem.

Most age-related floaters cannot be prevented. However, you can reduce the risk of secondary floaters by protecting your eyes from injury, treating inflammation, and managing chronic health conditions such as diabetes.

Most eye floaters do not require treatment. Rarely, for severe cases, options include laser therapy (vitreolysis) or surgical removal of the vitreous gel (vitrectomy). Underlying causes, such as inflammation or retinal tears, require specific treatments.
