    What are the causes of black dots in the eyes?

    Dr. Himabindu Sreenivasulu

    Black dots in the eyes, often referred to as "floaters, " are caused by tiny bits of gel or cells in the vitreous (the jelly-like substance in the eye) casting shadows on the retina. They become more noticeable when looking at bright backgrounds. While generally harmless, the sudden appearance of numerous floaters or flashes of light might signal a retinal tear or detachment, requiring prompt medical attention. If concerned, consult an eye care professional for proper evaluation and guidance.
