I used to have one eye floater, now I have two - is it a bad sign?

Question

*on the same eye by the way. The other one is good.

Answer 1

Floaters are entirely normal.BUT ...  If you suddenly get a lot of them see an eye doctor immediately (not an optometrist, oculist, or optician, but an opthamologist or retinologist -- a medical professional with an eye specialty.)

Answer 2

Oh my gosh.  Floaters are NOT cataracts.  They are tiny pieces of the back of your eye that have fallen off or clumps of the liquid in your eye.  They then float around in the liquid of your eye.  They can look black, gray, white, or clear.  They are completely normal and usually not a problem.  If you notice a lot at once, like a curtain or rain, then you want to see a doctor asap.  That can be a sign of retinal detachment.  Having two, though, is nothing to worry about.  Just let your optometrist know when you get your next checkup.

Answer 3

Well the eye floaters are cataracts, and if there are more, then that is not a good sign and you should go see an eye doctor/optometrist as soon as you can, so you can solve the problem before it gets any worse.
