Showers of floaters

What does shower of floaters mean? When people say they see 3 floaters, are they saying they see 3 dots of floaters?

Just as the word means.  Many floaters.  This is frequently blood and it clears in a day or so.  However, it may signify a torn retina or blood vessel.  One should get an eye exam ASAP by an EyeMD (ophthalmologist) and have a dilated retinal exam.

when i saw i see lots of floaters.  i am seeing many distinct floaters.  my floaters are not usually dots.  my floaters resemble snakes/worms.  if you ever took microbiology or have seen pics of microorganisms that is what my floaters look like.  and when i say many i mean so many individual floaters in the field of vision that it is hard to focus on anything BUT the floaters.
