What Are Ocular Floaters and Their Toxicological Relevance?
Ocular floaters are small specks or clouds that appear in one's field of vision. They are generally harmless but can be indicative of underlying toxic exposure. Certain toxins, such as heavy metals and organic solvents, can cause retinal damage, resulting in floaters. Toxicologists may assess these symptoms in workers or individuals exposed to hazardous substances to aid in diagnosis and prevention strategies.
