I have always had eye floaters due to welding. Well I had my eyes checked 12/13 and no problems. But lately my eye floaters are worse..

Was checking to see if anyone else has had this issue. Didn't know from all the medications I've been on in the past or present...

Prednisone always made my eye floaters worse. They also get worse the older we get.

I was thinking it could be the pred. But really didn't know and yes they are getting worse, sometimes I'm like did you see that bug and it was a floater. On 35mg of Pred at the moment.

That could do it, but you might want to mention it at your next eye appointment if they are still there. Once when I was on the higher doses, I had a permanent large black spot in the corner of my vision that lasted weeks. I never thought to mention it to anyone. I was so naive back then. It eventually went away though, so I guess no harm done.
