Solodyn (minocycline) and eye floaters

I'm wondering if there's any research supporting a link between solodyn and eye floaters.  I was on Solodyn for about 2 months and my vision deteriorated over the same period of time.  I have pretty severe floaters that distract me in reading and computer use.  Previously a little farsighted but not requiring glasses.  Optometrist says the back of my eye looks like "a spiderweb."  No retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, etc.

my floaters were always bad, but got worse after I used Akwa Tears for a few weeks.  I was mistaken thinking the drops were benign, just artificial tears. But, I did see the active ingredient is Polyvinyl Alcohol 1.4%.  These new floaters seem to be permanent.  Just a warning to all.

No, regarding solodyn and eye floaters.

Akwa tears do not cause floaters.
