WHAT CAUSES FLOATERS IN THE EYE?
Floaters are the little dots and shadows that float across your vision.
Sometimes you might fill like you can see a black insect flying by and you just want to catch itđŻ.

Generally, floaters are nothing to worry about, what they will do is cast a shadow on your retina by blocking out a section of the light that is going into your eye (this is what causes the dark spots).
