Anyone had lasik? Floaters from that or something pregnancy related....

I had lasik surgery in both eyes spring of 2011. I had been turned down previously for USAF lasik called "PRK" and by another civilian provider several years before due to bad astigmatism. But finally found a doctor who had no problem doing the surgery and my eyesight is MUCH better (20/70RE 20/40LE to 20/30RE and 20/20LE). But in January 2013 (not pregnant) I got lighting bolt floaters while drivering near LA. Lasik doc said it was normal and was a headacheless migraine (normal even though I'd never had floaters or migraines before). I had a second one in June while just a few months pregnant. And then the last 2 weeks I've got them with mild to moderate headaches about every two days. No dizziness. Has anyone experienced this? Lasik doc seems to believe it's ok. OB doesn't believe my blood pressure is highand I don't have much swelling so she isn't concerned at the moment. But I'm concerned. I've always had low/normal blood pressure. Approx. 120/60 or below. But since a few weeks into pregnancy my diastolic pressure has been 80. In normal range but 20 points high for me. Kind of unsettling. I see OB next week and will bring it up again. Just wondering if anyone else had dealt with these headacheless migraines after lasik and if they were more common during pregnancy?

I've had lasik surgery and my blood pressure usually ranges from 60/91 & when prego it goes to about 70/110.  I've never had floaters though.  Just random headaches if I've had a long day.

I've actually been noticing a lot of floaters now that I'm pregnant. I wear contacts and I thought maybe they were dirty and changed to new ones but are still there. Luckily I have my 1 yr check up next month so I'll ask the dr then. Maybe it is pregnancy related...
