You  should consult retina specialist & if there is no retinal pathology  ,you should ignore vitreous floaters ,you may consult Dr dinesh talwar retna specialist in Delhi.

Floaters are normal in high myopes but sudden increase in the number of floaters is a cause for concern.  Consult a retina specialist immediately.
