Flashes and floaters are the results of age-related changes to the vitreous, the thick gel firmly attached to the retina. The vitreous becomes thinner and more watery and pulls away from the retina. When this occurs, visual disturbances in the form of flashes of light or floaters (specks or strands across the field of vision) are present. These symptoms are not a reason for concern but should be evaluated. Give us a call today!
