A member asked:

Can stress cause floaters in both eyes. my eye docs found no other cause.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stress doesn't cause: Floaters, common in older agers, is caused natural changes in the vitreous fluid in the back of the eye, accelerated by trauma and more common in myopes. Stress has no effect on this, although the appearance of floaters is sometimes stressful.
