I have transparent filaments that constantly form in my eyes. What causes this?

It is possible that the transparent filaments forming in your eyes are related to allergies, even if the main symptoms are no longer present. These filaments may be white blood cells being brought to the surface of your eyes to protect them. Using lubricating eye drops for a 2-week trial may help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist, it would be advisable to consult with an optometrist.
