This is definitely something to be concerned about and you should see an ophthalmologist that is a retinal specialist. You could have a retinal tear or detachment or something like a branch retinal vein occlusion or a retinal macroaneurysms. Get it checked out right away - it might be that the original eye doctor was not able to see the problem at first or there may be a new problem altogether. Definitely need to see a retinal specialist.
