musca volitans
Musca Volitans, also known as floaters, refers to small specks or clouds moving in the field of vision as one looks at a blank wall or a clear blue sky. These are tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear gel-like fluid that fills the inside of the eye. Although they appear to be in front of the eye, they are actually floating inside. They are typically caused by age-related changes, inflammation, bleeding, or tears in the retina. However, they can occasionally also be a symptom of a serious eye problem.
