I constantly see stars in my vision.. occasionally floaters

Hello,

I am only 19 years old and have no medical history. For the past 4 months I have had a problem which has been increasing over time. It used to be that just in the dark, my vision would get very hazy and I would see stars everywhere. Like hundreds and hundreds of speckled lights everywhere. I also would notice an occasional "floater" every know and then. It then progressed to when I looked into the sky I would see floating "stars" everywhere. Now EVERYTHING I look at is starry all over the place ALL the time. Its not that it lasts for 5-10 minutes at a time but it is constant. I always see hundreds of speckles/stars/particles or whatever you want to call them flying around.
I'm not too sure and I do not know what to think or do.

Your opinions mean the world to me.

1. See an ophthalmologist to rule out disease.
2. You likely are becoming aware of entopic phenomena. Read the section on that at wikipedia.
