Eye floaters are spots in your vision. They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs.<\/p>\n
Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes liquifies and contracts. But if you notice a huge increase in these spots, see flashing lights, or a gray or black curtain over part of your visual field, contact an eye specialist immediately, as they can be signs of a tear or detachment of the retina.<\/p>\n
Red, itchy eyes<\/p>\n

Many things can irritate the eyes, but itchiness accompanied by sneezing, coughing, sinus congestion, and\/or a runny nose usually means you\u2019re allergic to something. When the eyes are involved, the trigger is usually airborne, like pollen, dust, or animal dander. Dry eye syndrome, which means you don\u2019t make enough tears, can be another reason.<\/p>\n
Some people with eczema can also get itchy eyes.<\/p>\n

When your skin and eyes look yellow, that\u2019s called jaundice.<\/p>\n
It often means you have liver problems and is caused by high levels of bilirubin, something your liver makes more of when it\u2019s inflamed or damaged. Bad diet, infection can all damage your liver. Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes to medication to liver transplants.<\/p>\n

The most common cause of protruding eyes is hyperthyroidism (overactivity of the thyroid gland), especially the form known as Graves\u2019 disease. One way to tell if an eye is bulging is to see whether there\u2019s any visible white part between the top of the iris and the upper eyelid because normally there shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n
The person may not blink often and may seem to be staring at you. Mention the symptom to a doctor, especially if it\u2019s present in tandem with other signs of Graves\u2019 disease, including blurry vision, restlessness, fatigue, increase in appetite, weight loss, tremors, and palpitations.<\/p>\n
Ring around your cornea<\/p>\n

This condition, called corneal arcus, causes a gray-white line of fat deposits to grow on the outside edge of your cornea (a clear, curved surface at the front of your eye that helps it focus). Sometimes, the deposits make a complete ring. If you\u2019re older, it\u2019s probably not anything to worry about.<\/p>\n
But if you\u2019re under 40, it could be a sign of dangerously high cholesterol.<\/p>\n

Night blindness (nyctalopia) is generally a symptom of an underlying ocular condition that involves the health of the retina, though it can also result from severe or worsening myopia or a vitamin A deficiency.<\/p>\n
The most common signs of night blindness include blurry or cloudy vision in low light, sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing distant objects in low light. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with an eye doctor as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
