Detailed Answer:
Hi as you are having Myopia you should get slit lamp examination and retinal examination by dialating your eyes. This can be done only by the opthamologist in the hospital setting. I advice you to not delay your appointment as many a times a simple flotters will be the symptom for some retinal pathology.

Following thing may require emergency visit to opthalmologist.

Many more eye floaters than usual
A sudden onset of new floaters
Flashes of light in the same eye as the floaters
Darkness on any side or sides of your vision (peripheral vision loss)

Take care.
