What’s that black spot in front of your eye?



Black spots in front of the eyes may be caused by vitreous clouding, or it may be caused by corneal damage.

1. Vitreous clouding: the vitreous body is aging and the transparent components inside are clouding, resulting in black spots in the patient’s field of vision; some inflammatory diseases in the eye, such as uveitis, can also lead to vitreous clouding, resulting in black spots in front of the patient’s eyes.

2. Corneal damage: the cornea is damaged due to foreign bodies, inflammation, etc. The cornea can not be fully restored and scar tissue is formed, resulting in opacity of the corneal tissue and black spots in front of the patient’s eyes.

When patients have black spots in front of their eyes, they should seek medical treatment in time and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as not to affect the patient’s vision and have an impact on the patient’s quality of life.
