Floaters are more common as we age. They are usually due to clumping together of the collagen fibres in the vitreous gel that fills the back portion of the eye and this is a normal ageing process. However, a sudden increase in floaters, especially if associated with flashes or shadows can be due to a separation of the vitreous gel from the retina known as posterior vitreous detachment. Posterior vitreous detachment can be associated with a tear in the retina and retinal detachment, so it should be checked by an ophthalmologist. There are also other less common causes of increased floaters that can be serious. An ophthalmologist can advise you if your floaters are serious.
