Does Excessive Use Of Polysporin Cause Eye Floaters?

Can overuse of polysporin cause eye floaters? I ve used polysporin over the past 2 weeks, and a few days ago, I had a huge floater which covered around 25% of my left eye. I haven t had any floaters for 10 years. Is polysporin causing the floaters?

Hi,

If floaters become more in number you have to see an ophthalmologist urgently because a sudden onset of more floaters can be a sign of reginal detachment which will make your eye blind if untreated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Alexander Davis, General & Family Physician
