Eye Floaters Homeopathy
Have you ever experienced tiny spots, strings, or squiggly lines drifting across your vision, especially when looking at a blank wall? This is called Eye Floaters – it happens when the vitreous humor changes its thickness. Causing you to see squiggly lines or threads. Eye floaters usually happen as we get older and may not need treatment. But if you have a sudden onset of many floaters, you should consult your doctor. In this blog, let’s understand what eye floaters are, what causes eye floaters, and homeopathic treatment for eye floaters.
What are Eye Floaters?
Eye Floaters are small shapes or dots that appear in your vision when looking at a clear sky or a blank piece of paper. They may look like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs that drift away when you move your eyes. Eye floaters are caused when the vitreous, a clear, jelly-like substance that fills the eye, liquifies and contracts. These forms scatter clumps of collagen fibers within the vitreous and cast tiny shadows on the retina. These shadows we see are called floaters. These floaters may drift away when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Most eye floaters are caused due to age-related changes, but if you notice a sudden increase in eye floaters, contact your doctor immediately, especially if you also see light flashes or lose your vision.
Which are thr Types of Eye Floaters?
There are many types of eye floaters, and understanding them can help determine the seriousness of the condition. Floaters are called that because they move around in the eyes, especially when you try to focus on them. Eye floaters can come in different shapes, including:
- Black or gray dots
