not-so-friendly floaters
“Inside your eye, there is a clear, gel-like fluid called the vitreous. You may see floaters if some of the gel in your vitreous clumps together. Small flecks of protein or other material that were trapped in the vitreous when your eye was formed can also cause floaters. The floaters in your eye are seen as shadows by your retina. As you age, your vitreous gel shrinks and may detach from your retina. If this happens, it can cause a small amount of bleeding. Generally, floaters are not treated and people who see floaters learn to ignore them.”

Mostly.. but big ones can be annoying.. and a little unfriendly reminder if more serious stuff if going on...they can be organic debris from the eye rather than the vitreous . If you have them.. they are probably harmless.. but get 'em checked...
