A member asked:
I've been seeing a pin wheel type of floater since tuesday, it comes and goes during the day. i've been blowing my nose a lot could that be a cause?

Floaters: Floaters can vary in appearance. If there are white flashing, see an eyeMD asap to be sure it is not due to a retinal hole or tear or detachment. If floaters are multicolored, then may be due to blowing nose a lot and due to change in oxygen to the retina/nerve.
