Occasionally for most, distractingly often for others, unidentified floating objects (UFO) appear in the line of sight. Officially they are known as vitreous opacities.
Ophthalmologists reassure patients that these floaters are harmless. The debris floating in the clear, gelatin-like fluid that fills the eyeball is bits of membrane that have been dislodged.
Approximately 5% of the people, who have this problem, choose to do something about it. For severe cases, where the floaters are distracting and interfere with the functions of daily life, there is a technique of using lasers to eliminate the floaters to replace the common procedure of emptying the fluid from the eye.
