Eye floaters may result from cataract, laser surgery, diabetic retinopathy, eye injury or eye disease when they cause inflammation like conjunctivitis. Technically speaking, gel or cells clumping inside your eyes cause the eye floater, which will move along with your pupils, making many little oddly shaped objects appear in your vision, especially when you look at a white paper or a blue sky.
While, benign eye floaters generally will not evolve because they tends to occur only in certain types of light. What your boy need to do is to learn to live with eye floaters and ignore them. They will go away while occur some days or months later. But if your son feels pain and discomfort, or it happens just after a eye surgery, do not heistate to see a doctor. Also, when he feels flashes of light or part vision loss associated with eye floaters, see a doctor right away, because it potentially leads to permanent vision loss.
