Floaters/concussions?!?!?

Hello~

Ok so first of all, I have had some severe concussions from soccer over the years since I've been playing.  The last one, over 2 years ago, involved a cleat and my eye...

Ever since I have seen floaters at an alarming rate.  After a while I stopped going to emergency rooms after soccer injuries...the last concussion included.  I plan on going to the eye doctor over break as my eyes have gotten pretty bad.  Is there a point in going?  Are they going to be able to do anything about the floaters?  Is there a chance this is more severe then I think it is?  

Also the left eye won't stop tearing....for the past 2 weeks people think I have been crying when really it is just my eye won't stop watering...suggestions?

Thanks!

Also, the floaters are mostly lots of black little dots and sometimes they are light flashing ones...

You definitely need to have a dilated retina exam to rule out holes/tears/detachments. You should also play soccer with goggle eye protection. Soccer eye injuries often serious are becoming much more common.

The tearing is a different deal and there are so many causes that I can't give you a likely cause. That also should be seen by an Eye MD.
