Treatments and procedures
While there are no proven treatments for eye floaters, certain procedures may inadvertently lead to the appearance of floaters. Laser treatments, such as for retinal tears or diabetic retinopathy, can cause floaters as a side effect. Additionally, intravitreal injections, which are commonly used for the treatment of conditions like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, may also result in the formation of floaters.
