Hello
It seems from the history that you are having corneal infiltrates and on steroid drops for treatment.
You are also having fliaters which are seen in diseases of the vitreous or retina.
Steroid eye drops or corneal infiltrate is not known to cause floaters.
Hence you require eye examination by a ophthalmologist to look for the causes for floaters by performing indirect ophthalmoscopy.
Thank you
