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.
Floaters can be caused by many things: As we age, the vitreous gel in the eye may thicken and shrink, causing little clumps to form. If the vitreous gel pulls away from its attachments to the retina, called a posterior vitreous attachment (PVD), it can clump up and make a larger floater. Sometimes tears in the retina can occur, releasing cells into the middle of the eye that appear as many small floaters.
