Eye floaters

Hi there, recently I have been getting a lot of eye floaters, usually it is just one at a time but I think they might be different or changing. I notice them pretty much all of the time unless it's dark. I have had eye floaters before but they never stuck around for this long. I have no blurred vision, no eye pain, nothing feels different except I can see the floaters. I am 23, male and healthy. Please don't say anything that will scare/worry me because I will not sleep. Thank you.

    Best idea is to make appointment to see eye doctor, preferably ophthalmologist. Better to know for sure about what it is since you are concerned.

      Yeah I think that is probably the best thing to do. I also noticed that I can only see them when I am not wearing my glasses.

    Floaters can be normal, and they can be a sign of something more serious.  Please go see an eye professional ASAP. If you do have something more serious, early detection is key.
