eye floaters??

I recently have noticed eye floaters when looking at bright areas like the sky. I had an eye appointment and he didn't notice anything abnormal should I worry about the floaters

My floaters turned out to be a torn retina, later after laser surgery, it detached.

floaters are a 'normal' finding in the eyes. If you're not sure call the "eye doctor" and ask for clarification

Generally no. Use the search feature and archives and read about floaters and PVDs.
