Eye floaters are spots in your vision. They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs and seem to drift about when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes liquefies and contracts. Scattered clumps of collagen fibres form within the vitreous and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters.
A contact lens is a medical device that is inserted into the eyes to correct vision. They are a great alternative to glasses as they provide convenience when doing activities such as sports.

In a world where we are constantly working and socializing with smartphones and small–screen devices, it’s essential to have regular eye exams to check for dry eyes, eyestrain, and infections. However, it can be easy to put off visiting an optician for one reason or another, which results in our eyesight becoming impaired over a period.
With the advent of smartphones, people are becoming victims of poor vision, no matter their age. Moreover, the stress on the eyes and nerves has made it difficult to keep perfect eyesight. Therefore, it is important not to ignore any eye problems and visit an optometrist.
Of our five basic senses, our sight is probably the most indispensable. While most of us are born with good eyesight, unfortunately, due to illness or genetic disposition, some of us may require eye care from a specialist to improve or even save our vision. In these cases, the prompt services of an optometrist are essential and should not be overlooked.
As we age, so do our eyes. Aging eyes can mean decreased sharpness in our vision, an inability to distinguish between shades, problems with glare, slower adaptation to darkness and reductions in how much of our surroundings can be seen at one time. Any one of these changes increases the risk of a fall and it’s the first consideration in falls prevention.
