Those Maddening Eyeball Floaters!

The video explains eye floaters, which are shadows cast on the retina by clumps of collagen in the vitreous humor. It describes the vitreous humor's composition and how floaters form and move. Sensory adaptation makes floaters invisible over time. Aging causes different types of floaters, and sudden changes in floaters may indicate retinal detachment. Floaters are a natural part of the eye's structure and remain throughout life.
