Floaters are tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous that fills your eye. These clumps cast a shadow onto the retina, giving the impression that something is flying in front of you, such as a gnat. Flashes can look like lights or lightning streaks in your field of vision. This may occur for weeks or months but do tend to subside. Flashes are a sign that the vitreous is pulling on the retina and an eye exam is recommended immediately if this occurs. https://bit.ly/2VLeCWH

Fuchs’ dystrophy is a disease of the cornea. It occurs when cells in the endothelium, one of the layers of the cornea, gradually die off. These cells are responsible for pumping fluid from the cornea, helping to keep it clear. When there are not enough cells, or pumps, the cornea can’t maintain its clarity and becomes cloudy or hazy. https://bit.ly/32nXFDa
