Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

No those are floaters and they occur when Retina is irritated or vitreous degenerated . You need to get a full retinal examination done . In case there is any tear or hole in the eye we need to laser it asap as it may lead to a retinal detachment . I always err on the careful side when seeing a patient with floaters.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
