I've been having trouble with my eyes. I've been seeing floaters and things in my vision. What could be causing this?

Floaters are small bits of debris that get stuck in your eye. They're usually caused by a buildup of proteins or fats in the vitreous humor, which is the jelly-like substance that fills the inside of your eye. Floaters can also be caused by other conditions like retinal tears, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts. It's important to see an ophthalmologist if you have any questions about floaters or if they cause any discomfort.
