Immediate medical attention is especially important if the floaters are accompanied by flashes of light or a loss of side vision. If you have these symptoms, see an ophthalmologist right away. Without immediate treatment, you can have permanent vision loss. These symptoms may be caused by:

Retinal detachment
Retinal tear
Bleeding within the eye
