Q: What are eye floaters?

A:Eye floaters can be physiological due to movement of vitreous jelly inside the eye (Musca Volitans) or can be pathological due to posterior vitreous detachment, bleeding inside the eye, retinal tear etc. The patient should get a detailed eye evaluation including retinal examination.
