If you can see clearly, it’s easy to assume your eyes are healthy. But the truth is, many eye conditions develop slowly and without noticeable symptoms.

If you’ve ever noticed small specks, squiggly lines, cobweb-like shadows, or drifting spots in your vision, you’re not alone. These are commonly called floaters, and while they are often harmless, there are times when they can signal a more serious eye condition that may need prompt medical attention.
