Depends: While having just visual changes and no elevation of blood pressure is not commonly seen with preeclampsia it can happen on occasion. Those patients may have other problems like rapid weight gain, headaches and abnormal kidney and liver functions preceeding the elevated BP and protein . The usual visual changes are lights or spot before eyes not floaters.

Not really.: "preeclampsia is defined as high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy in a woman who previously had normal blood pressure. Even a slight increase in blood pressure may be a sign of preeclampsia. Left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious — even fatal — complications..." according to the mayoclinic.Com. I agree. Floaters are unrelated totally.
