What causes floaters and flashers?

As you age, the gel-like fluid in your eyes (called vitreous) begins to liquefy and pull away from your retina -- the thin neurosensory tissue that lines the back of your eye. As your vitreous gel changes it can pull on your retina enough to cause a retinal tear or detachment. Like the film in a camera, your retina captures the images you see.

When this film is irritated, distorted or torn, it changes your retina's ability to properly capture visual images and you begin experiencing vision problems. Having a few long-standing floaters in your vision is normal. However, if you notice flashers or an increase in floaters -- or if you see a curtain or shaded area in your side vision -- these can indicate serious eye disease and the need for immediate treatment.

Left untreated, retinal tears and detachments can lead to permanent blindness. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical. In fact, vision loss could have been prevented or minimized by early detection in 50% of all medical cases ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
