What Causes Eye Floaters Along With Blocked Ear And Prickly Throat?

I have been reading and writing part of this evening. I got up to get a drink. When I came back I could see zig zag mainly black and white patterns and mainly through my right eye. If I closed my right eye I could still slightly see the patterns going round the room mainly to my right. Never had it happen before. It s gone now, my eye feels a little warm now. I have had a prickly throat and my right ear has felt a bit blocked for a couple of days, I get sinus problems from time to time. Just wonder what was causing the patterns

HI,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Your blockage of ears & prickly throat seem to be allergic signs ..associated with sinusitis.
Eye floaters are totally of different cause & not related to your other signs. They are deposits in vitreous humor of eye ( which is otherwise transparent ).. They are of different shapes, patterns,sizes / they have different refractory indexes ..so they are perceived as floating bodies in the field of vision..
The cause are some changes in vitreous humor /degenerative changes in eye .
They usually do not disturb vision. & one gets easily adjusted to them.But if trouble sum, need treatment with medication/ laser/ surgery with an ophthalmologist's advise.
Thanks.
