Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently had a sinus infection and then got a staph infection on my face. Right when the staph was developing I started to notice hundred of cell like floaters in both eyes. I was a frequent marijuana smoker until the problems with my eyes started because it seemed to make them worse. So i decided to go cold turkey. I have been having several panic attacks a day thinking about the floaters... I am wandering if the sinus infection then staph infection could have resulted in my sudden appearance of these problems. I also want to know if cannabis can cause a form of ocular toxicity that could result in floaters... I think these infections are related to the floaters... I just want to put my mind at ease. I have been to a retina specialist and they saw no tear or anything that would have caused them.... please help...
I would suggest you that it appears unrelated to staphylococcus infection and sinus infection as staph infection was on your face. Was your sinus drained? What was the cause? I think you must consult a psychiatrist also once to rule out any link of panic attack with floaters as opthalamalogist found everything normal.
Take care Dr Sheetal Verma
