Lines when I roll my eye to the side

Every once in awhile when I quickly roll my right eye to the side I see wispy lines, kinda like a spider web. This has been going on for about 6 months. I'm nearsighted and went to my eye doctor in February for glasses. He did an eye exam, tested me for glaucoma and said my eyes were fine. I forgot to tell him about the weird lines/spider web thing. Should I be concerned about this? What does it sound like?

      Can I just say that floaters can be harmless but can also be the early signs of retinal damage,and addressed early can be hopefully sorted out.left unattended can lead to blindness as it did with me.
