Floaters are not due to retinal detachment 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. If you see a flash, it?s because the vitreous has pulled away from the retina. These changes can happen at any age, but usually occur between 50 and 75. You?re more likely to have them if you?re nearsighted or have had cataract surgery.

Hello in eye we have 2 segments: anterior and posterior. In posterior segment we have a gel called vitreous this vitreous is made of collagen fibres. In some people, these collagen fibres gets meshed up and they start floating in vitreous gel when light enters the eye, these meshed collagen fibres cast a shadow on retina which is seen as floaters by patient. There is no treatment for this just avoid seeing them these are entirely normal consult ophthalmologist if these suddenly increase in number only a very few patients with floaters develop retinal detachment This is a provisional diagnosis. Consult your ophthalmologist for detailed examination.
