You need to see you surgeon.  Any increase in floaters is a dangerous sign.

Protect your eyes from blunt trauma by wearing safety prescription glasses all time, which will properly cover your eye also puts less stress on nose regions in the event of hitting or something like that.

Also protect your head from traumas or injuries particularly to forehead regions.

Avoid eye rubbing, if you have sneezing habit get proper treatment.

Practicing these steps reduces the chances of getting retina detachment to a large extent, also no one can fore tell what happen next.
