Eye floaters
Helow docs. i am highly myopic in one eye and less myopic in another eye. Last month i went through a dilated retinal examination and everything was fine. From past couple of days i am seeing 3-4 dot like tiny floaters which are new and were not present before. what i should i do now? is this serious? i am worried too much..
you have recently undergone fundus examination. and everything was ok .hence need not to worry. just omit them .take some antioxidant. avoid stress and strain. if using computer or excessive mobile then put lubricant eye drops 2to3 times daily.

Are you experiencing these floaters for the first time or have they been there and disappeared earlier also. If you are experiencing them for the first time you must go for a dilated examination of your retina once again. As it's better to be safe than sorry. Floaters are a sign in case of retinal tear or holes which are again common in myopes as are these floaters.
Next Steps
Get your dilated funds examination done once again.
Health Tips
Avoid lifting heavy weights, doing strenuous exercises and work as such activities in myopes increase chances of retinal tears/holes and subsequently retinal detachment.
