Eye floater
 
Since my injury I have noticed I have floaters in my eyes. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes.

The floaters I had went away with Hormone Replacement Therapy after they discovered that I had hormone deficiencies caused by the concussion I sustained.

But there may be several different causes of them - as MarkInIdaho says: if you've seen one brain injury, then you've seen one brain injury!

If you are still early on in your recovery (>1 year) they might go away eventually on their own.

I recommend that you see an optometrist and/or an ophthalmologist.

If the floaters have no color, they are usually meaningless. If they appear to have color, like red, see a doctor right away. For many of us, floaters always existed. PCS just changed the way we perceive them and they become more noticeable. Normally, the brain ignores them. For some, this ability to ignore them does not function correctly.

I have the clear ones. My neuro opthamalogist was not worried.

They are strange when outside in a brighter area but nice to not have to worry about them.
