What Causes Floating Spots In Front Of Eyes?

I have been experiencing seeing floating spots in front of my eyes off and on for a while now. Sometimes they come with a headache and sometimes not. I just had my eyes examined and they redid my eyeglass prescription, but I am still seeing the floaters. Is there anything else I should be looking into, what else might be causing these?

floaters are degenerative body from vitreous. after certain age they are normal. only you have to observe for retinal hole tear or detachment. if nothing then no treatment required. repeat the test after 6months.
