dry eyes and floaters
by damejennifer, Dec 07, 2005 12:00AM
I have dry eyes. I also have had floaters for 5 years but they had settled and i had not seen them in about 3 years. Now that i have dry eye, i am seeing them all the time. Would dry eye cause me to see my floaters again or is this just a coincidence?

its coincidence.
a floater is caused by something that is INSIDE of your eye. a floater cannot cause your eye to feel dry, and your dry eyes cannot cause you to see floaters.
