Vitreolysis vaporizes bothersome eye floaters with a painless in-office laser procedure

Seeing things? Dark or transparent lines or shapes of varying sizes show up in your visual field. Seen more easily when looking at something bright, you might notice they follow the movement of your eyes. They even keep moving when you stop moving your eyes. Although annoying and usually not dangerous, floaters can be a sign of a problem in your eye. If more floaters suddenly become visible or they affect your vision, treatment may help.

Causes

Floaters are what you see when thickened strands of jelly inside your eyeball become stringy and move in front of your retina to cast shadows.
