What Causes Eye Floaters?

I ve been having a problem with my left eye for the last three days. I ve been seeing the same floaters and now tonight I ve had like a flashing light that just shoots downward on the outside edge of my vision. Any ideas? I had a headachs this morning but not since. I have relaxed most of the day so I don t feel stressed either?

Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern
In my opinion your are unrelated and you should not be worried about them.
Floaters are seen very commonly in myopic patients and in elderly patients due to changes in vitreous which is present in the eye. So no need to worry about it.
Hope this was of help
Thank ou
