As we get older we expect to have  problems with our eyes, so we tend to ignore them.

One minor symptom that can cause a bigger problem if not treated is the occurrence of floaters and flashes.

These are those tiny lights that seem to blink through your vision and that you can never catch when you direct your focus toward them.

Almost everyone sees floaters at some point in time, but they can occur more frequently and become more noticeable as we get older.

Because floaters and flashes can be a symptom of a more serious problem , please call us for a eye examination.
 

In most cases no serious problems are found, but a complete eye examination is important. If there is damage to the retina, it needs to be diagnosed and treated immediately to prevent vision loss.
