Floaters may be caused by vitreous degeneration, vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous inflammation and other reasons, generally 1 to 2 months can disappear.

How is floaters caused and how long does it take to disappear?

1, vitreous degeneration of the human body

is gel-like at birth, with the increase of age, vitreous degeneration, liquefaction, resulting in the destruction of the collagen stability of the vitreous, resulting in vitreous turbidity, resulting in floaters.

2, vitreous hemorrhage

due to diabetic retinopathy, trauma, retinal vein occlusion and other reasons caused by vitreous hemorrhage, leading to vitreous opacity, causing floaters.

3, vitreous inflammation

How is floaters caused and how long does it take to disappear?

due to inflammation of the vitreous, retina and other parts, leading to inflammatory exudate and inflammatory cells into the vitreous, causing vitreous opacity, resulting in floaters. Floaters

can be divided into physiological floaters and pathological floaters, physiological floaters generally do not affect vision, do not need special treatment, generally about 1 month can disappear. Pathological floaters suggest that there may be retinal detachment, retinal hole, etc. in the eye, which needs to be actively treated for the primary disease. Generally, it can disappear after about 2 months of treatment.
