Blurry Vision After Crying, Dark Floaters. Reason?

Had a very hard long crying episode about 2 1/2 weeks ago n vision the next day in R eye was blurry. Kind of like if there was a smear on my glasses, or kind of when you wake up in the morning and have to rub the sleep out of you eyes. Actually, before the blurry vision occurred, it seemed like when I would try to look to the right, there would be dark floaters, then came the cloudy vision. It actually seems to be improving. When i say i had a hard cry i am not exagerating. There is no pain involved. The floaters n cloudy vision are the only S/S.

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
it is possible that there may be posterior vitreous detachment in which the jelly inside the eye gets separated from the retina. This is usually harmless, but the separated jelly casts a shadow on the retina and that causes the floaters or blurry vision. It can occasionally be associated with some damage to the retina hence it is advisable that you undergo a thorough detailed retinal examination at the earliest.
