I hardly ever notice floaters, but when I tried a binoviewer for the
first time, they were very prominent. I thought the trend was the
opposite, binoviewers making floaters less noticable, but for me the
opposite was true. Has this happened to anyone else?

Another possibility, in addition to what Dan mentioned, is decreased exit
pupil. It is not uncommon for binoviewers to entail, as a side effect,
increased magnification (sort of like an incidental Barlow). This would
yield a smaller exit pupil and enhanced floater visibility.
