If you have problems with floaters in your vision and you wear prescription glasses, you've probably asked yourself the question, "Do colored contact lenses help floaters?"

It's also important to understand what actually causes floaters.

If you've ever been looking at a white computer screen or staring at the sky, and you've noticed an odd semi-transparent "blotch" or object floating across your vision, then you may be experiencing an eye condition known as "floaters."

Floaters are small pieces of gel within the vitreous fluid of your eye, which can take on various shapes.

The cause of floaters has nothing to do with the light entering your eye, but instead they are caused by the properties of the fluid within your eye.

When you see floaters, you're seeing vitreous gel pockets floating across your vision.

Some people believe that if they wear colored contact lenses, it might "filter out" the color of the floaters and remove them from your vision.

The error of this theory is that colored contact lenses don't filter light from your vision, and the floaters themselves aren't even visible in the area that these contact lenses actually cover.

Since colored contact lenses don't alter the vision of your pupil, they have no way of altering or "shading out" the shadowy shapes of the floaters that enter your vision as they float through your eye's vitreous.

Since floaters are pockets of gel that float across your vision (above your pupil), then clearly wearing colored contact lenses won't alter how you view those imperfections.

However, some people might suggest that having contact lenses over your eye will prevent the floaters from moving into the area of your eye over your pupil.

Contact lenses sit on the surface of your eyeball, however the vitreous fluid where the floaters are suspended is actually inside your eyeball.

The most common position when people will see floaters is when they're lying on their back and the floaters concentrate near the fovea of the eyeball.

Wearing a colored contact lens will not alter or block the flow of those floaters into the field of vision.

This means that while it would be nice to use colored contact lenses as a "quick fix" to block or prevent floaters, that simply isn't the case.

Most people learn to ignore floaters in time, and many doctors advise against surgery to cure them.

Keep in mind that if you're suffering from a severe case of floaters, or a sudden burst of floaters or flashes of light, you could be suffering from a much more serious eye condition such as a detached retina.
