dry eyes and floaters

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.

could it be that im thinking about my dry eye and ways to get rid of it, which i am, and by thinking of my eye, i am bringing my floaters into view? this is what my optomotrist said
