Brain Chemistry Of Anxiety And How It May Relate To Floaters

Chemicals in the brain such as dopamine and serotonin can become out of balance when you are dealing with anxiety that may be caused by seeing floaters all the time. This may possibly interfere with the brain's ability to learn to "ignore" eye floaters over time.

The frustration of seeing dark spots and lines endlessly drifting near your eyes is due to the gel called vitreous ripping away from the retina. If we are to try to figure out why eye floaters and flashes occur, it helps to know that the jelly material called vitreous in our eyes becomes smaller, shrinks, and changes from gel like to watery with time.

Seeing a lot of dark, branched lines that look like strings in front of your eyes can happen in the aftermath of vitreous gel collapse. Worm like parasites with a tail on them can seem to float right by your eyes as the vitreous gel moves back and forth. Floaters that appear like gray blobs can move up quickly in your vision and then drift back down slowly like a tadpole flicking its tail.
