Floaters and shadows
I have floaters in my eyes from last one year.
And i notice two things in my day to day life
1. Whenever i use computer and when i move my eyes or swipe my screen, I see shadows of words which i was reading for 1-2 seconds in white backdround.
2.sameway if i am in streets and if i see electric boards and then i move my eyes to other side i see shadow of that lightening board for 1-2 seconds.
My current power
Left eye - (- 1)spherical, (- 2.5)cylindrical, 175°
Right eye - (-1)spherical,(-2)cylindrical, 180°
I have done my check up of eyes(retina) and power 2 times in last one year.
So, Can this shadows and light sensitivity be due to floaters???

Floaters are usually nonpathological and since you have got your retìna checked henceneed not to worry,just learn to imit them.
It seems that you are a regular computer user hence you are likely to develop computer vision syndrome so please put lubricant eye drops e.g. teardrop 3to4 times daily and rub ocupol dx eye oint to be rubbed twice daily on lids

Hello.
These are not due to floaters
It is very difficult to comment without examining you
I would recommend you to consult local ophthalmologist
