Can glaucoma cause floaters?

Glaucoma can lead to eye floaters in some cases, especially when the pressure behind the eyeball is immense enough to effect the fluid surrounding it to the point where these floaters are seen. Typically, this is accompanied by pain and other, more severe, visual disturbances, such as blurriness or "flickering lights" in the peripheral of one's vision, along with migraine headaches stemming from nerve constriction due to the buildup of pressure behind the eye. As with any disease, the best outcome comes from early detection of this condition, as it can lead to blindness and permanent quality vision loss if not treated right away.
