Possibly: IgM pos, IgG neg means as you know means active infection. In immunocompetent people such as you I am assuming, it causes a mono syndrome. The eye is rarely involved. Floaters are nonspecific. You need someone to look in your eye. Numbness could be a consequence of your infection with a good prognosis. Tell me more, are you tired? are your nodes up? Are you immunocompetent?

False positive IgM?: IgM antibody testing often is unreliable for many infections, including those caused by herpes-group viruses like CMV. At your age, you are at very low risk for a new CMV infection, and CMV would not cause symptoms like you mention. Your IgM test probably is a false positive. I wouldn't worry about it.
