What is floaters in your eyes?

Eye floaters may be caused by a variety of reasons, including physiological phenomena, inflammatory infections, parasitic infections, hypertension, diabetes, etc.

1. Physiological phenomena

With the growth of age, the vitreous body will gradually liquefy, the stability will decrease, and cluster or punctate plaques will appear, thus causing floaters.

2. Inflammation infects

the uveal tract and retina in the eye. Inflammation may invade the vitreous body, resulting in vitreous opacity and floaters.

3. Parasitic infection of the organism

, such as schistosomiasis, malaria, etc., which invades the eye or metabolites remain in the eye, easily affecting the vitreous body and inducing floaters.

4. Traumatic factors

Eye trauma may lead to vitreous damage, which in turn increases the risk of floaters.

5. High myopia

High myopia may lead to axial growth of the eye, in which case the vitreous body is prone to liquefaction, causing floaters.

6. Hypertension and diabetes

Hypertension and diabetes patients if the condition is not stable, easy to lead to intraocular lesions, increase the risk of floaters.
