When Exactly Are Floaters Dangerous For
Your Eyes And Vision?
Always seek medical attention immediately if you suddenly see a large increase in the black floaters in your
eyes associated with lightning like flashes in your peripheral vision. Strange streaking lights when you turn
your head like a sparkler going off in your side vision may mean that the vitreous gel is tearing away from your
retina.
The retinal tissue can detach itself from the eye for one out of seven people who get
stringy squiggly lines in the vision along with bolts or jolts of lightning flashes off to the side. A retinal
doctor can dilate and examine your eyes, detect the tear or detachment, and then surgically repair
it.
