A member asked:

I have eye floaters and headaches, anything to worry about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms unrelated: The combination of headaches and floaters are coincidence and not related. Floaters are generally benign and common. The worrisome thing would be to have a "shower" of new floaters, especially if they are associated with flashing lights as this may represent a retinal tear. Those symptoms or a "curtain" coming down over the vision should lead to a prompt visit to an eye specialist.
