Floaters???

I'm 24 years old and for the past week and half, on a daily basis, I see a brown peck and a squigly line on my left eye and a squigly line on my right eye.  They move along with my eyes.  If I look at the blue sky, then I see clear circles.  Are these floaters?  Or can it be something else?  I went to an eye doctor whom didn't find anything.

Thanks for the quick response.  I saw one yesterday and he said my retina looked good.  These floaters are so annoying.  I remember seeing them last summer and they disappeared.  But now I get easily paranoid.

Sounds like floaters.  Did you see an ophthalmologist, if not do so.
Retinal tears can occur with the onset of new floaters.

One more thing, my eyelids are droopy.  It's usually the left eye but I've noticed the right one is a bit droopy too, at times they are more droopy then at other times, if I don't get a good night sleep, they are droopy all day.  Is this ptosis and can it be causing the floaters?
