Strange floaters in eyes.

First of all, I want to apologies for my English mistakes.

I recently turned 22 years. 6 months ago, in my great stress,anxiety period, I started noticing Floaters in my eyes. There is one in each eye that I can notice. When I look around, for example, if i'm in a room with low light, and there is a line of 5 windows on the wall, if i start doing left-right movements without blinking, from the window on the left to the window on the right, i see ...kind of a blurriness, wave..idk how to explain it...distortion maybe...where the floater is following my vision. It doesn't happen at the first movement, it happens when i do 3-4 times left-right movements . The "blurry-watery-distorted-light-flash-idontknowwhat wave" with the floater in its center vanishes when i stop the movement at the window, and the floater is clearly visible. It has been the same for 6 months, no worsening nor improvements. Otherwise I have clear vision.

I am in good health, and I have been to the eye doctor and they found nothing abnormal with my eyes. They said that is because of the floater, and I just have to live with that. I just wanted to possibly hear some other opinions whether this is normal with floaters.

my best regards.

If you use the search feature and search "floaters" you will see they cause all sorts of weird thing in some people Your description is consistent with everyday floaters. They more you concentrate on them the more they will bother you.

You are correct, concentrating on them makes it worse. Thank you for the answer.
Yes I sympathize as I have floaters including a large Weiss ring in my left eye. Over time by neuroadaptation I have learned to ignore or 'tune them out"
