What causes flashes and floaters?

0

A. Flashes and floaters are not serious and are a normal side effect to the aging eye. The cause of these effects is due to a Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD). At birth, the Vitreous solution is attached to the light sensitive retina of your eye. As we age, the elements of this solution divide. The flashes and floaters we see are simply the remains of this tissue.
