Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your problem is with retina. Detail examination of retina should be done. Specially retinal hole, tear detachment should be excluded. Macula should be examined for any early sign of degeneration.
It also appears to be hallucinogenic perception disorder. All problem manifested can be explained in this condition. It is generally associated with other neurological disorder. No treatment is available except treatment for hallucination, depressive psychosis. These problems are related to neurological. It is advisable to take consultation of neurologist.
If eye test recommended are done and conditions excluded then it is more pointing towards neuro psychological. You should go for consultation as fixed on Saturday.

May I ask what do you mean by psychological hallucinations?
I'm not seeing things that are not there I guess it's more like when you take a photo and the imaged is burned in the eyes for a few seconds if that makes sense

Brief Answer:
Psychological hallucination is perception of the stimuli which does not exist.
Detailed Answer:
Psychological hallucination means you perceive one thing as visual stimuli which does not exist.
Presume you are having binocularity. So, how can you see floaters in one eye and and visual snow in other eye unless you close one eye. This is generally detected by doctor when he test one eye and close the other eye. So, it is not possible by self to detect and decide. So, it is to be accepted as imaginary.
