How long has your wife had them? I have some in the left eye from a cycling crash about 18 months ago, hardly noticeable now. Then in November 2022 I suddenly had lots of spider web/cracked glass & tiny black specs appear in the center of the right eye (rapid onset is reasonably common). The newer ones were quite a nuisance and very distracting initially. Saw an optometrist immediately both times and he advised they would become less noticeable in time. He was right; they are way less annoying now. Apparently the human brain is very good at compensating. They are noticeable in bright objects but fairly easy for me to ignore. Does your wife notice them at other times apart from observing through a scope? You probably know already; but they are clumps of collagen solidifying in the eye ball fluid.
