Near-sightedness makes you more likely to notice them, but I don’t think it’s a serious sign of anything unless you’re seeing them so much that it’s a problem. They’re always there in healthy eyes, your brain just tunes them out most of the time. I would assume that changes in the way your eye focusses - either because of a change in the actual eye like the person above describes or because of a change in the prescription of glasses changing the light that enters your eye - just makes it more likely for your brain to not tune them out because they suddenly look a bit different to what your brain got used to
Huh … I never noticed that I stopped noticing my floaters after getting glasses. When you have something like that for decades, you stop actively seeing those things.

For some reason this comment is what made me finally realise that I haven’t seen floaters since I stopped needing glasses
