Question

 

 

Hi there,

I pinched my eye a while ago when taking out a contact and my eye was red and felt like it was scratched. I then treated it with polyspirin drops until it healed.

I am seeing a black eye floater now in my eye and was wondering if I should be concerned?

Thanks

 

Answer

Thanks for your Question

These are two separated things. I don't think that the trauma to your eye is hard enough to cause eye floaters.

If these eye floaters are new you should be examined by eye doctor to rule out retinal tears.
