:@[[User:LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist|LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist]] thanks for your edit! I would not trust "Veterinary Vision Center" as a reliable source for scientific information. The page from ScienceDirect you posted contains some articles that might help you write a better referenced statement, for instance [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9781437708462000112 this chapter of Equine Ophthalmology].

== More information requested on the black dots. ==
The jaggedy pale tan streamers / threads / precipitates are what floaters are. ''Check.''
But the black dots, that look like scattered pepper in the visual field, ''NO?'' What is the medical term for those and is there an article in Wikipedia about them?
This article mentions retinal tears causing bleeding into the vitreous for one cause of the black dots. I would think that an ophthalmologist would see them bobbing around in there on exam, but he did not tell me that. He just said that floaters were unimportant and would go away. The smallest black dots ''do'' go away within a day or two, but more take their place. They are usually minute, like ground pepper; sometimes bigger, appearing gnat-sized to me; and once they were carpenter-ant-sized (that was ''really'' visually disturbing - and the bigger they are, the longer they take to disappear).
I would like more details on these objects, so if you could point me to an article on whatever they are called, I will grateful. Thank you for your time and help, [[User:Wordreader|Wordreader]] ([[User talk:Wordreader|talk]]) 15:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
