What causes purple spots in your vision?

They are usually age-related, occurring between the ages of 50 and 75. Floaters are caused when the vitreous, the gel-like substance that makes up most of the eye, becomes more liquid, stringy and clumps together. These strings or clumps float around in the vitreous and cast a small shadow on the retina.
