Suggest Treatment For Floaters And Flashes In Eyes

Hi I am 18 and I am seeing floaters or flashes I am unsure of which and don't know what to do? What I see is sometimes a group of shadowy wave like things in my eye. One is fairly prominent and has a thin black outline. Shortly after seeing the more prominent one I usually see a more wave like cluster. I tend to notice it more in the car and around bright lights also.

these are floaters. eye doctor should examine to rule out detachment holes or tear. if every thing is normal then have a review after 6months.
