If you've been observing flashes of light, better to get retina examined.

Floaters are a normal phenomenon. If there is sudden increase in floaters or constant flashes of light, only then do you need to go to the eye department immediately.
Next Steps
You will not go blind as long as you go for a bi annual eye check and follow exactly what your ophthalmologist says.
