Not all floaters look like small dark specks — and some are warning signs that require urgent evaluation.
In this short from Eye Surgery Today, the doctors explain what sudden new floaters, photopsia (flashes of light), or a dark shadow across your visual field can indicate — including posterior vitreous detachment and retinal tear — and why immediate evaluation matters.
If you or someone you know has experienced any of these symptoms, please see an eye care professional for a dilated fundus exam as soon as possible.
