    It would be a good idea to get your eyes checked in case you have a retinal detachment. There is a good chance it could be a vitreous detachment which is harmless, but you should always be a bit overcautious when it comes to your vision.

    Hi kai007 - I agree with Moon, you need to make an appointment to see your doctor or an eye specialist just to rule out any issues, and to give you some assurance that all is fine. You are also possibly describing "visual snow" which is something few eye specialists believe exists, but there is an active group of VS members on FB. It's harmless, just annoying to those of us who think we have it.

    Good luck and keep us posted!
