Could a failed root canal cause eye floaters?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There is no connection between these two conditions even if the root canal procedure had intruded into your maxillary sinus.

No. See Opthalmologist (Eye doctor) about floaters, especially if it's been longer than a year since your last eye exam. See your Dentist or preferably a root canal specialist, an Endodontist, to treat the infection. Untreated infections spread to other organ systems.
