Is Retinal tear normal?

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

Hi, I have noticed a black cloudy smudgy dot in the vision a week ago. Yet to see the Dr. Currently outside India and have to wait for two weeks. Planning to see the eye Dr in India. No injuries. Suddenly this black dot appeared Is it something serious? How to know if it's retina tear? Do we need to get it treated immediately? Is it floaters or retinal tear? Whether both are treatable?
