It is filled with a material called vitreous which is similar to clear gel. As we age, the normal jelly-like consistency of the vitreous begins to liquefy. The vitreous may contract and pull away from its natural attachments on the inside surface of the eye. When it pulls free, it is often accompanied by light flashes and the appearance of a new black spot or floater.<\/p><p>This is not dangerous, but it can be accompanied by more serious eye conditions such as retinal tears and vitreous haemorrhage. These occur when the strong attachments of the vitreous to the retina do not separate properly, tearing the retina or retinal blood vessels. This often leads to new floaters and persistent light flashes. It is suggested that anyone with symptoms of a vitreous detachment have an eye examination to make certain that a more serious problem is not present.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-07eb598\" data-id=\"07eb598\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-599872a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"599872a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 20-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eyemark.co.za\/demos\/comprehensive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eye-normal-300x168.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-4175\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eyemark.co.za\/demos\/comprehensive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eye-normal-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eyemark.co.za\/demos\/comprehensive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eye-normal.jpg 396w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f873d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f873d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-bottom:0px;\"><strong>Floaters<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c1a44f2 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c1a44f2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f4c676\" data-id=\"3f4c676\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c66792e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c66792e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eyemark.co.za\/demos\/comprehensive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vitreous-detachment-asteroids.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-4201\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-83ad2af\" data-id=\"83ad2af\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf3e8c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cf3e8c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Normal floaters are not dangerous and are caused by tiny specks of tissue inside the vitreous.
