Floaters
Those drifting spots and shadows in your vision may need attention
Floaters, which appear as dust or insects drifting across your vision, are usually a natural part of aging. However, they can sometimes signal serious conditions such as retinal tears or detachment. Gangnam Tokyo Eye Clinic provides precise fundus examinations to clearly determine whether your floaters are simply age-related or the onset of a disease.
Key Symptoms of Floaters
Floaters come in various forms and tend to be
more noticeable in bright environments.

Flies, thread-like dust, hair,
clouds, or small dots
appear to float before your eyes. - 2

The floating particles move
along with

downward or drift
out of your field of vision.
Types of Floaters (Physiological VS Pathological)
The most important thing is to determine whether your current floaters are simply age-related or a sign of disease.
