What Causes Floaters and Blurred Vision?

Have you ever noticed small specks or spots in your vision that seem to move as you try to focus on them? These are known as "floaters," and they are a common occurrence that many people experience. Floaters can be accompanied by blurred vision, which can make it difficult to see clearly. While floaters and blurred vision are often harmless, they can also be a sign of an underlying eye condition that requires medical attention. Understanding the causes and potential implications of these visual disturbances is crucial for maintaining good eye health and seeking appropriate treatment if necessary.
