Hi, thanks for sharing your concern! What you’re describing sounds like floaters, which are quite common as we age. They are usually due to vitreous condensation—basically, the gel inside your eye becomes more liquefied and clumps together, casting shadows that you see as black dots or floaters.
In most cases, floaters are harmless, but if you notice a sudden significant increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a dark curtain in your vision, it could indicate something more serious, like a retinal detachment, which needs urgent attention. Similarly, if this happens after an eye injury, it’s best to get checked immediately.
If the floaters are not too many and not affecting your vision much, there’s no need to worry too much. But if you’re unsure, a quick eye assessment by an ophthalmologist can give you peace of mind!
