What Could Be The Cause For Eye Floaters?
I have had what feels like post nasal drip and strong metallic taste for at least 3 months now. Doc has had me on a few different antibiotics. I have tried sudafed, Mucinex, nasal rinses to no avail. Two weeks ago there was a sudden and massive onset of floaters in one eye. I ve seen a retina specialist. No retina tear. Now I m wondering if they are connected.

Hello,
Eye floaters are benign and you don't need to worry about them if there is no retinal tear.

Hello,
I don't think they are connected. floaters usually come as our vitreous gel becomes thin so no need to worry if there isn't a tear.

Hello,
Floaters die to vitreous gel inside the eye undergoing liquefaction and are usually harmless.
