What is Vitreous Opacity?

Understanding What Disrupts Clear Vision.

A vitreous opacity, often referred to as
“mouches volantes” or
“floaters,”
appears
as small, floating dots, strands,
or shadows in the
field of vision.
These
arise due
to changes in the vitreous body
of the eye and can significantly impair

vision.

Vitreous opacities are mostly
age-related,
occurring when the
gel-like substance in
the eye
thickens or shrinks.

Floating dots and strands, which are especially
visible against bright backgrounds.

Moving shadows, which shift with eye movements and
can be distracting.

Altered light perception,
which can interfere
with clear vision.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Vitreous Floaters

Vitreous floaters are often caused by age-related changes in the gel-like
vitreous inside the eye. These condensations or shrinkages create the
so-called “floaters,” which appear as shadows in the field of vision.

2. Can Vitreous Floaters Lead to Other Eye
Conditions?

In most cases, vitreous floaters are harmless and do not lead to other eye
diseases. However, if floaters appear suddenly or become unusually severe,
an eye specialist should be consulted to rule out other possible causes.

Most patients notice an improvement shortly after laser treatment. In some
cases, it may take a few days for vision to fully stabilize.

Once treated successfully, the floaters that were removed typically do not
return. However, new floaters may develop over time.

In severe cases, a vitrectomy—surgical removal of the vitreous—may be
considered. However, this option is only recommended in rare circumstances.

Laser treatment for vitreous floaters is usually a one-time procedure. If
new floaters appear later, an additional session may be considered.

Many patients are eligible for laser treatment, but an eye specialist will
determine suitability after a thorough examination.
