Medical Conditions - Floaters

Floaters are spots in the field of vision which appear as black or gray specks or transparent strings of floating material in the field of vision. They are caused by the normal aging process or other diseases. Treatment involves surgery to remove the vitreous and laser therapy to disrupt the floaters.
