We don't know: It's impossible for us here on healthtap to diagnose why you're having this problem -- not enough information to do so. However, you can see your own eye doctor who will examine you, and help determine the cause. Also, if you know you're under enough stress to impact your health, it could be helpful to see your regular physician about that.

Floaters: Eye floaters are not typically stress related. They are usually related to thickening of the jelly in the back of the eye which occurs with age, trauma, near-sightedness, inflammation. See an eye doctor for further evaluation.
