I have BPPV and have had several episodes over the past 4 years. Now I have eye floaters along with my vertigo symptoms. Does anybody else experience eye peoblems during their episodes?
I have floaters, but was told it was vitreous fluid detachment. I do not relate it to my veritgo, because Ive had vertigo for some 24 years and the floaters only recently got bad..However, I do have a double vision, or a crossing of the eyes during my episodes. I can only see if I close one eye..otherwisse I am seeing two non-converged images...
Yes. Was talking to by therapist about floaters. She asked me about them so I asked what are floaters. Lol. I have them when I get real fizzy or have bad spells of vertigo.
Eye floaters is a retinal problem and unrelated to BPPV. You may notice them more during episodes due to ocular movement abnormalities related to the BPPV episodes.
