Floaters and cancer
Hey i have too many floaters in right eye so does floaters have anything to do with cancer i am myopic -2 number in both eyes
Hello
Floaters are very common and usually insignificant.
I myself have 3 floaters in my left eye.
Eye cancer patients may have floaters but i dont think you have an eye cancer.
Only way to get rid of floaters is to avoid them.
Having said that, get your retina examined to be 100% sure

Floaters have nothing to do with cancer .Floaters are because of inflammation in the vitreous which is a liquid in front of your retina .Kindly get a dilated retina examination done by a ophthalmologist.
