Pink Eye

When I got a cold a few weeks ago, I also got pink eye for the
very first time. Although it had almost disappeared by the time
I went to the doctor's, my doctor gave me eye drops anyway.
Although the pink eye is gone, I seem to either have a
"floater" or dark spot in that eye now. It's not always in the
same place and changes shape somewhat (a dark spot with two
streaks coming from it), so I'm assuming it's just a floater,
but I was wondering if this was normal after pink eye? It
doesn't seem to be going away, and is sometimes distracting as
I often work in a computer with a white background.
Also, it is possible that I have Lupus, and I understand
that there can be eye problems related to this disease (I don't
know if that helps you or not).
I was hoping if you could tell me if I need to be concerned
about this "floater". Thanks very much for your time--it is
appreciated.
