Can "dot Floaters And Cob Webs" In The Eye Cause Jaw Problems?
two wks ago I suddenly developed two black dot floaters with cob webs. I sent to see my eye doctor who said it was not detached retina but would need to watch it for a while. I'm wondering if this could also be related to some jaw problems I am having. It is my left eye but the right side jaw .

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
Floaters are caused by opacities in the posterior part of the eye in the vitreous which lies above retina.
It does not have any relation with jaw pain.
Jaw pain needs evaluation to find out the underlying causes like dental problems, temporomandibular joint problems....
Do consult your doctor for evaluation in this regard.
Hope this information is helpful.
