Floaters are usually nonpathological and you will have to learn to omit them. If you have any retinal problem then offcourse you must take care to get your regular fundus examination done.

Hello Sir, an occasional floater, though normal, may suggest some underlying lesion especially if accompanied by increase in number of floaters or with flashes of light seen in the eye. It is best you get a dilated retina check up to make sure it is normal.
