How many young people have floaters?

I am 25 years old and have floaters in my eyes.
I have read that usually older people have floaters, and that 50% of people over the age of 50 have floaters.

But is it known what is the percentage of young people that have floaters, or more specifically what is the percentage of people below the age of 30 that have floaters?

roughly 10% per decade of life so at your age 20-30%
