Depending upon the degree of those stretch marks on retina you may need a laser treatment, you can go for repeat evaluation after an 6months to 1 year,
It is common for myopes to experience some floater after retina examination.

If you have a shower of floaters (not just one or two) or flashes of light then you must go for another check up.
