I've had floaters all my life, and am short sighted with astigmatism.
I used to stand on the school playing fields looking at the sky and watching them. They show up well against blue sky. Mine are mixed. One or two are tiny black dots with a perfect ring around. Some are like seaweed moving with the tide. Some are like frogspawn.
They are all translucent and not noticeable day to day.
The time to get checked is when you get something new......or a visual dusturbance.
Very occasionally I get a migraine aura, which is interesting...scintillating scotoma I think its called......
