A member asked:
Can a nervous tic that causes you to frequently squint hard cause eye floaters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: The two are different processes. Try to figure out what causes the tic--bright light, facial expressions, stress. Floaters are inside the eye and may be evaluated by your ophhalmologist.
