10 Causes of Eye Floaters
Cause #8: Inflamed Vitreous
The center of the eye is filled with a clear, jelly-like substance. It is known as the vitreous body, although it is usually known simply as the vitreous. It is like a gel toward the edges of the eyes, but more liquid-like in the center. Just like other parts of the body, there is a chance that it can become infected.
If the vitreous does become infected, then it can also become inflamed. This can, in turn, lead to a range of complications, one of which is eye floaters. If you notice more eye floaters than usual and are experiencing other symptoms, you should arrange to get it checked out.
