A member asked:

Eye doctor said i have fluid in behind my eyes, i have been having a few floaters in right eye only, reason to worry?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Ask your eye doctor: One needs to know where the abnormal fluid is to venture a guess. Every eye has fluid inside it (aqueous humor) and there is where the floaters are found. If you seeing more and more floaters and have high myopia, this would be a major concern requiring immediate attention by an eye doctor.
