Description: Floaters (muscae volitantes - "flying flies") are spots before the eyes of different shapes, sizes and number. They appear often when looking at a plain coloured field of view, eg blue sky, a wall. Typically when the patient tries to look at them they report that the spots "run- away". The spots are due to corpuscles circulating in the retinal vessels and specks within the vitreous. These opacities cause shadows to be cast onto the retinal sensory apparatus; the rods and cones; and thereby appear as dark spots in the field of vision. Slight cases or observations require no treatment. (Health On the Net Foundation (HON); Diseases of the Eye (Posterior Eye Diseases)
