Flying spots on Eyes

Blurred spots that do not affect vision but circulate. Turbidity occurs as a result of the damage to the back of the eye, the shadow of the retina. The stain images are the open jelly-like substance that takes the shape of the stored proteins and is in the middle of the eye and is dragged into the vitreous.

Flying spots are often described by patients as spots, fibers, or small flies.

Flying points are usually benign (not serious) and are sometimes caused by separation of the vitreous gel from the retina. This is called posterior vitresus detachment (PVD). In most cases, there is no retinal tear due to conditions in PVD.

There is no cure for flying points, and patients tend to ignore them over time. It is also important to note that flying points are often not associated with serious eye problems.

Permanent or persistent white or black spots in the same area of your field of view may be an early warning sign for cataracts or another serious eye problem. If you are experiencing a shadow or a screen that affects part of your visual field, it is a sign of retinal tear and may turn into retinal detachment. In this case, you should immediately consult an ophthalmologist.
