Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Symptoms of eye floaters may include: Small shapes in your vision that appear as dark specks or knobby, transparent strings of floating material. Spots that move when you move your eyes, so when you try to look at them, they move quickly out of your line of vision.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most floaters are small flecks of a protein called collagen. They’re part of a gel-like substance in the back of your eye called the vitreous. As you age, the protein fibers that make up the vitreous shrink down to little shreds that clump together. The shadows they cast on your retina are floaters.
