Do you sometimes see dark dots and squiggly lines drifting around? They can be very distracting and annoying, especially while reading, playing sports, or looking at beautiful scenery.
7 in 10 people get eye floaters at some point in their lifetime, and the likelihood increases with age.
For a long time, people were told that eye floaters were normal and they just had to live with them.* However, new research has shed light on the root cause of eye floaters and demonstrated the importance of proactive management strategies.
(* Note: There are different types of eye floaters, some of which are caused by serious conditions. This webpage refers to the most common type, age-related vitreous floaters. If there are sudden changes in your vision, book an eye exam immediately.)
