  Well, yes, high blood sugar can lead to eye floaters in your eyes. First, you should know that high blood sugar is a medical condition which is referred as hyperglycemia.

  Yes, it is possible for you to get eye floaters because of high blood sugar. The high blood sugar is not good for eyes which will have many effects on the eyes. The high blood sugar of the diabetes levels can damage blood vessels in the eyes and can lead to the growth of new blood vessels there. These new blood vessels are not as strong and can leak or burst. This condition is called diabetic retinopathy.
