Eye inflammation and uveitis
Eye inflammation and uveitis can also be responsible for the development of eye floaters. Uveitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye. When the uvea becomes inflamed, it can release inflammatory cells into the vitreous humor, leading to the formation of floaters. Uveitis can be caused by various factors, including infection, autoimmune diseases, and eye injuries.
