Don't know how old you are, or what others on ATG might report, but my husband had very similar symptoms a few years ago. The eye doctor told him it was probably the vitreous humor detaching. In fact, after a few weeks the symptoms subsided -- something about the brain learning to shut out the "floaters."

But they were very clear that if the situation didn't improve, it was important to have it rechecked.

Found this article which describes the process and symptoms pretty well: http://www.tedmontgomery.com/the_eye/vitreous.html
