What Are Floaters, The Various Causes Of Floaters, How To Remove Floaters, And How To Reduce The Risk Of Succumbing To Floaters

By Dr. Harrison Sachs

This essay sheds light on what are floaters, demystifies the various causes of floaters, explicates how to remove floaters, and expounds upon how to reduce the risk of succumbing to floaters. Succinctly stated, floaters are deemed to be specks that roam around a person's field of view. Floaters "can appear as black or gray dots, lines, cobwebs, or blobs. A large floater may cast a shadow over a person's vision and cause a large, dark spot in" his line of vision. Floaters are entrapped within the vitreous fluid of the eyes and will drift around a person's field of view as his eyes move. Floaters are comprised "of the vitreous of the eye. The vitreous is the clear, gel-like substance that fills out most of the eye". "Microscopic collagen fibers within the vitreous humor" are the constituents of floaters. Floaters are the bane of a person's field of view since they are incessantly in a person's field of view whenever he moves his eyes. Furthermore, floaters can ceaselessly obscure a person's field of view whenever he moves his eyes. Succumbing to floaters can undermine a person's ability to experience the totality of visual experiences since they can block a person's field of view whenever he moves his eyes. "Floaters cast shadows onto the retina" which are aesthetically unappealing to view. Succumbing to floaters can signify that the retina has been ravaged. Nothing beneficent can ever ensue from succumbing to retina injuries. The causes of floaters are multitudinous. Floaters can develop as a corollary of strobe lights gleaming in a person's eyes. If strobe lights gleam in a person's eyes for a prolonged period of time, then he is at a high probability to develop floaters since strobe lights can severely damage the retina. It is perilous for a person to be exposed to strobe lights. Strobe lights are extremely bright and should never be utilized. Strobe lights can emit "between 10 and 150 joules of energy" and can render an environment hazardous to be in. A person should always abstain from entering into environments that are pervaded by strobe lights. Environments should always be devoid of strobe lights. It is calamitous for an environment to be pervaded by strobe lights. Another cause of floaters is the occurrence of vitreous detachment. Floaters can develop "when the vitreous body starts to shrink. As vitreous body starts shrinks, little fibers can break away and become stringy".
