What are Eye floaters a sign of?

Signs of eye floaters include visual disruptions, such as seeing light streaks, floaters, or a cobweb-like haze. These occur when there is a posterior vitreous  detachment. The jelly-like substance called vitreous in the eye starts to liquefy and shrink, causing it tug on the retina. Call your medical team right away if you notice these signs. While most people experiencing PVD won’t need treatment, in some cases the vitreous can completely detach from or tear the retina.
