Stress will not worsen floaters however as a high myope you should have a dilated retinal exam to determine if the floaters are harmful or not. Yearly dilated exams should be done.

I have a habit of blinking my eyes hard & fast. Sometime it cause pain while doing it. Maybe it's because of dry eyes or it has become my habit. So does it cause any damage to eyes like retinal tear or detachment as I'm high myopic & have floaters?
