Could fatigue, lack of sleep over a month and working on laptops or ipad cause increased floaters in high myopes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No -more aware: You most probably have a vitreous floater. The clear gel that fills eyeball is normally attached to all parts of the inside of the eye. As we get older it can become more liquid (watery) and detaches from the back of the retina causing your "dirt" floater. In patients with myopia this can happen at an earlier age. Fatigue has nothing to do with fatigue or use of eyes.
