Transient floater in left eye

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

Hi . I would like an eye doctor to revert as quickly to me as possible . Right now in my left eye I am experiencing a very transient sort of floater . It's not very strong but I know that's there's something there . The floater resembles a speck of light you see right after you loom directly into a sharp light . Like a street lamp or something which I don't remember doing I might have or I may not have . It's not blocking my vision when I move my eyes I see it. What is it?
