Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a floater after watching a welding light.
Photophthalmia caused by damage to the retina by the ultraviolet rays emitted by the welding arc has to be ruled out.
Hence this requires examination of the retina by indirect ophthalmoscopy is required.
Hence I advice you yo consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
