Why floaters in sunlight
I am 26 and I recently developed floaters, dark thread like or v like. But why is that I only see them when in out in sunlight but never see them indoor??? I also have dry eyes and computer vision syndrome. I am -2 myopic and software professional too. The doctors ask me to ignore the pesky floaters. Will the floaters ever disappear If I ignore??!

Hello
Floaters are nothing but shadows.
As shadows are formed only in light and shadows are faint in dim light... similarly, floaters are not seen clearly in dim light.
I hope this answers your query
