Floaters and Flashes in the Eyes
Floaters and flashes in the eyes are common visual disturbances often caused by age-related changes in the vitreous gel. While usually harmless, they can sometimes indicate a retinal detachment. It's essential to seek medical advice if these symptoms suddenly appear or worsen to prevent potential vision loss.
