A member asked:
Since starting prevacid, (lansoprazole) i have retinal floaters. are they related?

Probably not: Floaters are generally a normal part of aging - the "debris of life." if they develop slowly and are not accompanied by other symptoms such as flashing lights or loss of side vision then they are usually normal.

No: No connection. Floaters can be due to aging changes in the vitreous (syneresis).

Not likely: But new floaters require a dilated retinal exam asap.
