Floaters are spots in the vision that move around as you move your eye. These are usually harmless tangles of collagen in the [[vitreous humor]] of the [[eyeball]]. You should have new floaters inspected by your optometrist as they can be signs of more serious eye conditions, such as a [[vitreous detachment]] which is a risk factor for [[retinal detachment]]. | |||
Many people starting EM notice an increase in floaters. It is unknown if this is a side effect of EM, or if changing focal planes just makes existing floaters more noticeable that were previously ignored by the [[visual cortex]]. | Many people starting EM notice an increase in floaters.
