What are Eye Floaters?

Have you ever noticed tiny black or gray specks or strings drifting across your vision, especially when looking at a bright sky or a white wall? These eye-floaters are created when tiny clumps form in the clear, jelly-like substance inside the eyeball. Eye floaters are suspended in this ‘jelly’, so they move when your eyeball moves, making them seem like they’re floating. If you try to look directly at them, they often dart away. In most cases, floaters are normal and harmless.
