The vitreous is a jelly-like substance in the eye. Sometimes adults, especially seniors, experience sudden floaters and/or flashes of light. Or, seniors may notice more floaters as they age. Both sets of symptoms may be related to the aging vitreous. Just like jelly, this eye fluid dries up and shrinks over time. As it shrinks, it may pull at the interior parts of the eye. This leads to retinal detachment, macular holes, and retinal tears.
