No. Discuss with : Your eye specialist. Floaters aren't dangerous but are annoying. Make sure that there are no tears in the retina by having a dilated retinal exam. This means getting dilating drops that temporarily blur the vision. Wear protective eyewear which deflects force onto bones around the eye. Get retinal laser to any tears. Be examined regularly. Enjoy your sport. See a retinal specialist.
