Annoying new eye floaters

Hi

So I know most people get floaters as I'm sure I've always had them, but the last couple of days I've noticed many more of them which just constantly swirling about my vision. 

I did go to the eye hospital a couple of weeks ago to have the back of my eye checked out as, it turns out I was only having a migraine, but having never had one before I got checked out just in case. 

So I'm wondering if these floaters are simply new and annoying floaters which may or may not settle down on their own, as if it was something more serious, would it not have been picked up when I was at the eye hospital?

Thanks

    Floaters can change. Since you mentioned you went to eye specialist couple of weeks ago and there is an increase, probably good idea to get it checked out again.

      Thanks for getting back to me.

      I just would have thought if it was something serious they would have seen something at my last check up ?
