It probably is nothing more than noticing what has been there, BUT...a sudden increase in floaters, a sudden change in floaters-color, size, number, etc--can be a warning sign. A sudden increase in "stars" is a warning sign. A consistent gradual increase in "stars" is a warning sign. You should have your eyes checked by an eye doctor pronto, just to be sure everything is okay. Probably is. But if it isn't, better to catch it early when it can be handled, changed, fixed, than to wait until the real problem has developed and now it's too late. Make an appointment. Much better safe than sorry.
