A member asked:

I got hit in the head 11 days ago with a dumbbell. floaters began in both eyes today. eye exam fine. could this have caused floaters in both eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could: Could be from floaters but I'd be concerned about concussion. Make sure you see your doctor.

Do exercises cause retinal detachment for high myopic and floaters? I do many neck streching exercises like crunches, pushups, shaking head. Is there any harm for eyes as I have heard that anyone who have floaters should not do heavy exercise?

What would cause a dark spot in my center of vision while turning head quickly? I've had a new onset of floaters a month ago. Right eye muscle strain, and my eyes are now struggling to focus on objects. I have possible intercranial hypertension?
