How it's used
This term is used to describe the visual phenomenon of seeing small specks or cobweb-like shapes drifting in one's field of vision. While it sounds like a formal medical diagnosis, it is the standard way people describe this condition in everyday conversation. It is often mentioned when someone feels their vision is being obscured by these persistent moving spots.
Examples
I have been seeing floaters a lot lately, it's like things are flying around.
Have you ever experienced floaters? It's like there are black spots when you look at things.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general eye strain or blurry vision. It specifically refers to the perception of floating objects, not a loss of focus or clarity of the image itself.
