Musca Volitans is a Latin term that refers to the visual perception of floating and zigzagging spots in a person's vision. It is commonly known as "floaters." Many synonyms have emerged to describe this phenomenon, including eye floaters, flying mosquitos, jelly-like specks, and drifting spots. Other less common terms used to describe them are vitreous opacities, vitreous floaters, eye spots, or entoptic phenomenon. These terms all refer to the same thing, and they are typically harmless. Though they may be annoying, they do not usually require treatment. In some cases, however, an increase in floaters can signal a serious eye condition, so it's essential to consult with an ophthalmologist whenever necessary.
