You're welcome. Its unlikely you have a major problem, its probably harmless type of floater.

Use the search feature and archives to search "vitreous floater".

If that is the only symptom you have, no pain, no flashes, no reduced vision and you have no historyof eye disease nor serious eye disease in your family and have had an eye exam within the last 2-3 years you don't need to worry or do anything unless something new develops.

Otherwise tell your parents and see an ophtalmologist.
