Hello
It seems from the history that you are having floaters. Floaters are because of presence of opacities in the vitreous. The causes for floaters are vitreous problems like vitreous detachment.
All cases of floaters especially with sudden onset of floaters or increase in the floaters requires examination by a ophthalmologist or preferably by a retinal specialist to rule out the retinal problems like retinal tear.
Floaters by themselves does not require treatment however if they are very symptomatic can be treated by vitrectomy.
Thank you
