Eye floaters but no flashes/vision loss.

2017-09-29 01:19:22
I started noticing the floaters when I was out side on a sunny day. I am 15 and I am nearsided. I have eye floaters but no sudden flashes or sudden vision loss or any loss of vision at the corner of my eye. I am wondering if this is a bad thing or if it won't effect anything?

Having floaters is harmless most of the time. Just be on the lookout for a sudden increase in the number of floaters or any associated flashes or blurring of vision. These are all symptoms of retinal pathology.
