Eye Floaters & Flashes
Floaters and flashes are usually harmless
If you sometimes see:
- floaters – such as small dark dots, squiggly lines, rings or cobwebs
- flashes of light
in your vision, it’s not usually a sign of anything serious, especially if:
- you’ve had them for a long time
- they’re not getting worse
- your vision is not affected
Flashes may eventually stop, and floaters often become less noticeable as you get used to them.
