Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having sudden onset of foaters.
Floaters are because of opacities in the vitreous which lies in the posteriorpart of the eye behind the lens.
Floaters usually does not require treatment. But all cases require evaluation by a ophthalmologist by indirect ophthalmoscopy to look for associated retinal problems like retinal tears or retinal thinning.
If these are present treatment by laser is necessary.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
