Causes for flashes and floaters. Flashes and floaters can be caused by: Detachment of the jelly-like âvitreousâ from the retina. Detachement of the innermost light-sensitive layer of the eye is the most common cause of floaters and flashes. Posterior vitreous detachment occurs naturally as we get older, typically around ages 55 to 60.
Age-related changes to the eye are the most common cause of eye floaters. The cornea and lens at the front of the eye focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye. As the light passes from the front of the eye to the back, it passes through the vitreous humor, a jelly-like substance inside your eyeball. Changes to the vitreous humor can lead to eye floaters. This is a common part of aging and is known as vitreous syneresis.
