Hi,
As you are having high myopia this type of flotus can be felt while seeing.this is common problem but even then better consult your eye surgeon for clarification and treatment.
ok and bye.

Hi
Some thing floating on eye surface could be as simple as mucous strand associated with dry eye in people who work on computer for long hours. In high myopes like you floaters are common because of vitreous degeneration. Few fine strands are of no consequence but sudden increase in floaters, a large veil should make you rush to an ophthalmologist. Try lubricating eye drops, visit an eye specialist for retina checkup by indirect ophthalmoscope annually.
