Can eye floaters that are benign go away in young adults?

Eye floaters are small, dark specks or lines that appear in the field of vision. They are caused by tiny pieces of tissue or fluid in the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance that fills the inner eye.

Most eye floaters are benign and do not cause any vision problems. However, in some cases, eye floaters can be a sign of a more serious eye condition, such as retinal detachment.

In young adults, eye floaters are usually benign and will go away on their own within a few months. However, if you experience a sudden increase in the number of eye floaters or if you have floaters accompanied by other symptoms, such as flashes of light or dark spots, it is important to see an eye doctor right away.

Here are some tips for dealing with eye floaters:

* Try not to focus on the floaters. The more you focus on them, the more noticeable they will become.

* Drink plenty of fluids to help keep the vitreous humor hydrated.

* Avoid strenuous activity that can put pressure on the eyes.

* If the floaters are bothersome, talk to your eye doctor about treatment options.
