floaters are small shapes that appear to drift across vision, often described as specks, threads, or cobwebs. They are a visual symptom caused by tiny shadows cast inside the eye. floaters are most commonly discussed in routine eye care and urgent retina evaluations. They can be harmless, but they can also be a clue to conditions affecting the vitreous or retina.
