Black floaters in my left eye

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

I see black floaters like a dot or a cobweb in my left eye. I only notice it when there's brightness in the room, when I'm out during the day and when I see a white wall or something that has a white background. I have this since 4-5 years. It is bothering me a lot nowadays as I have to work on my laptop. It is as if it blocks my vision and it is irritating. Is there any way I can get rid of this?
