Floaters?!

Hello, so I've had floaters in my vision for the past 4/5 years and they've always been transparent and usually only visible when looking at a bright light. However, last night, I noticed something, it was a small shadowy line floating across my vision, I've never had this before and I can't always see it, even looking at bright lights. Can somebody please tell me if this is a floater or not? I'm twenty years old and wear glasses. Please help?! Thank you.

Because this is a change you should either call your ophthalmologist or optometrist and report the change or go in for an exam. No way to tell you for sure if its a floater or not

Get one. You wear glasses, who prescribed them?

You can ask your personal physician to refer you to an ophthalmologist; you can start calling ophthalmologists or optometrists for an app
