I'm high myopic and have floaters. Why does my eyes feel heavy only when I close them? It has happened with me before some days and now again it has started. Is it due to screen time as I'm using my phone all day till night?

I have noticed an increase in the amount and intensity of "eye floaters", to the point that it is constantly distracting when outside in daylight or working on a computer screen. Could this be an issue?
