What Are Eye Floaters?

Eye floaters appear as small spots, specks, or cobweb-like shapes that drift through your field of vision. They are caused by tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear gel-like substance that fills the inside of your eye. While floaters are generally harmless, a sudden increase in floaters can indicate a more severe condition requiring prompt attention.

If you’re noticing new or more frequent floaters, scheduling an eye exam is essential. Contact James River Eye Physicians at (757) 595-8404 to book your appointment today.

What Are Eye Flashes?

Eye flashes are brief flashes of light that can appear in your peripheral vision. They are often caused by the vitreous gel pulling on the retina. Flashes can be a symptom of retinal detachment or other severe eye conditions, so seeking immediate medical attention is essential if you experience them.

If you’re experiencing eye flashes, don’t wait—call James River Eye Physicians at (757) 595-8404 to schedule an emergency consultation.
