	Floaters are spots in the vision that move around as you move your eye. These are usually harmless tangles of collagen in the [[vitreous humor]] of the [[eyeball]]. You should have new floaters inspected by your optometrist as they can be signs of more serious eye conditions, such as a [[vitreous detachment]] which is a risk factor for [[retinal detachment]].

	Many people starting EM notice an increase in floaters. It is unknown if this is a side effect of EM, or if changing focal planes just makes existing floaters more noticeable that were previously ignored by the [[visual cortex]].

			==Natural Treatment==
			Floaters may go away on their own. They can drift down out of the visual field, or the visual cortex can learn to filter them out so you don't see them under most circumstances.

This has not yet been widely reproduced, but is an available option for knowledgeable self-experiment.
