I see black spots floating in my eyes

Some people feel that there are small mosquito-like things floating in the air in front of their eyes after overusing their eyes; some people also experience this eye condition as they get older. This may be caused by floaters. After suffering from this eye disease, people are often very anxious, worried that their eyesight will be damaged, and the constant foreign objects shaking in front of their eyes will make them feel very uncomfortable. First of all, we say that floaters generally do not cause any impact on vision, but this disease often only stabilizes the condition but cannot be completely cured. Patients need to adjust their mentality and learn to adapt to the existence of this symptom with an accepting heart.
