Hello, and welcome to EyeFloatersCure.org. Many of the websites you will see online explaining eye floaters are from people that do not even have them. Well, I wish I was one of those people, but I’m not. I’m just like you and they drive me absolutely crazy. The purpose of these pages is to explain all about eye floaters and what options you have available to you.

So, what are eye floaters?

Eye floaters are those tiny little annoying spots, lines, and “worms” that move around your field of vision. Surprisingly, eye floaters are quite common and usually aren’t anything to get worried about.

When we are young, the vitreous fluid in our eyes has a gel-like consistency. But as we get older, the vitreous can liquify and create a water like center. Floaters usually appear when small pieces of the eye’s gel-like vitreous break loose within the inner back portion of the eye. Some undissolved gel particles occasionally will float around in the more liquid center of the vitreous. These particles can take on many shapes and sizes to become what we refer to as “floaters.”

Generally, you will notice these floaters the most when you are looking at a computer, the blue sky, a plain wall and if your like me, pretty much all of the time. You don’t actually see the floater itself, you are seeing the shadow of the floater moving around. When your eyes move around, the floaters move around to and then settle down, causing a drifting effect.
