Having lots of floaters with 6/5 vision,no other vision problems,is this possible that i lymphoma?

No, don't worry!: Floaters are very common and they aren't a symptom of lymphoma, so don't worry! Lymphoma causes fevers, weight loss, swollen lymph nodes and night sweats. Floaters are stringy bits of protein in the vitreous gel of your eye. They aren't dangerous, just annoying. If they are suddenly new, or if you having flashing sparkles in your vision, see an eye doctor as that might signal a retinal problem!
