Hello, Myopics often have symptoms of floaters due to vitreous liquefaction and traction on the retina. Though floaters themselves are harmless, you must get your retina evaluated to rule out other retinal diseases.

Please get a dilated retinal examination to see if there is any retinal defect. Many times floaters are normally seen in Myopes.
