10 Causes of Eye Floaters
Cause #6: Torn Retina
The eye is made up of various parts, all of which have various roles in helping us to see. Some provide protection, while others help with focus or help to relay messages back to the brain. One part is the retina, which is found at the back of the eye near the optic nerve.
The retina’s job is to convert light that is coming into the eye into signals that can then be passed on to the brain. The brain then uses these signals to form an image of what is around us. The retina can become damaged, though, and a torn retina can result in us seeing eye floaters.
