Are you seeing spots, flashes, or floaters before your eyes? Floaters impact your vision and they appear to follow where you look.

Sudden onset of floaters may be a cause of concern

Longstanding floaters in front your vision are generally not a cause for concern. In some cases of a sudden onset, they can be symptomatic of another problem. These could be things such as a potential tear of the retina which can lead to a serious situation and even permanent vision loss. If caught in time it can be treated. A sudden onset should always be investigated by conducting a thorough sight examination.
