If you notice a sudden increase in the number of floaters, experience flashes of light, have a loss of peripheral vision, or any other significant change in your vision, it is crucial to consult an eye specialist. They can perform a comprehensive eye examination to determine the cause of your floaters and recommend appropriate treatment if necessary.
