Mention Causes And Treatment For Eye Floaters
I have never had eye floaters and today it just happened and there are thousands of floaters as well as long strands floating around in my right eye. I read a little this does not seem as though it is nothing it seems serious, I have a total haze of brown/black dots

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You are correct in stating that floaters can sometimes not indicate a serious condition requiring treatment but in some cases a problem is present.
It would be best, since they occurred suddenly and there is no previous history, for you to be assessed by your optometrist or opthalmologist to make sure that there are no changes.
I hope this helps
