A member asked:
If you have floaters, should you avoid rollercoasters? would the jostling from the ride potentially cause floaters to increase in size or number?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on cause of floaters and the rollercoaster is my hunch. Would ask local Dr who knows you and your floaters.
