Will floaters get worse?

Floaters can get worse, but it depends on a variety of factors, including the cause, severity, and timely and effective treatment. Floaters

are a common eye disease characterized by small black shadows floating in front of the eye, especially against a white background, and sometimes accompanied by a flash. Floaters may be caused by vitreous liquefaction, posterior vitreous detachment, etc. As the disease progresses, the number and density of black shadows may increase, affecting the patient's vision.

However, the progression of floaters is not constant. For some patients, the condition may be relatively stable and does not deteriorate significantly. For others, floaters may gradually worsen or even cause severe vision loss if not treated promptly.

Therefore, once symptoms of floaters are detected, professional examination and treatment should be sought as soon as possible.
