Answer

 

Thanks for your Question

This is called eye floaters and if these floaters are new then you should visit an eye doctor for full eye examination. Most of the time it is a benign condition without any complications but you should be examined to rule out any problems in the back of your eye such as retina tear or retinal hemorrhage.

You can call your GP for further instructions during this lockdown.
