In front of me, there are "little worms" and black shadows float around. Is it a sign of blindness?

If you have floating "little worms", black shadow

With a blink of an eye

Looks like a variety of

Silk -shaped, dotted, strip

The quantity or less ...

Many people may worry about

Will this be a precursor to blindness?

In fact, this situation is flying mosquito disease

Why does "little worm" appear in front of you?

Flying mosquito is actually a manifestation of turbidity in the vitreous body in the eyes. Those "little worms" are not real bugs, but the "impurities" in the vitreous body.

Experts introduced that mosquito disease is caused by the aging of the vitreous body, coupled with excessive eyes and fatigue. When people are young, the vitreous body remains uniformly gel -shaped, but after the age of 40, the gel -like vitreous body gradually becomes water -like, liquefied space, and shakes with the rotation of the eyeball, and the shadow will appear in front of the eyes. Therefore, the medical name of the mosquito disease is "vitreous turbidity".

With the increase of age, many people will have flying mosquitoes, and often appear in front of them such as hair, gray cloud, small circle, mosquito, flies, small black dots, lines, and even a picture. It does not affect visual functions. Clinical surveys show that the incidence of mosquitoes over 60 years of age is more than 60%.

If it is a teenager, it may be the residue of vitreous blood vessels after birth.

Do I need to treat flying mosquitoes?

Most of the small black dots in the eyes of most mosquito patients are physiological flying mosquitoes and do not need to be treated at all. As long as you maintain it reasonably and adapt slowly, you can see these "little worms".

However, some mosquitoes are pathological and are related to fundus diseases, such as bleeding, inflammation, trauma, etc., which can cause blindness in severe cases. If there is a sudden increase in black shadows in the short term, and even visual defects or vision decreases, you must seek medical treatment in time.
