Description

“Floaters” are bits of cellular debris in the vitreous humor, which is the gel-filled space in between the lens and the retina. Getty Images.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 67-year-old male with generally good vision. I have had a few floaters in my eyes over the years, but they have generally been small and have not significantly affected my vision. However, about six months ago, I suddenly had a large floater appear in one of my eyes that did affect my vision; it is right in the center of my field of vision and is very distracting.
