How Dangerous Are Black Floaters For
Your Eyes?
Seeing an eye doctor at once is a good idea if you abruptly become aware of a new shower of floaters and lights
flashing off to the side of your vision. Tearing of the retina occasionally happens when the vitreous gel separates
and pulls away from it.
Suddenly noticing dark strings or clumps moving in your eyes together with lightning flashes
to the side of your vision may lead to a retinal detachment or tear 14% of the time. If you have had the
unfortunate diagnosis of a retinal detachment or tear you will get peace of mind if you're seen quickly by a good
retinal specialist.
