You may have a detached retina, which is serious and can happen at any age. You need to see a retina specialist ASAP for evaluation and reattachment, if necessary.

Floaters are very common with those who have astigmatism. They are not harmful, just annoying at times and usually go away within a few minutes. However, if it becomes more than a few bright lights in your eyes, you might have the beginning of a retinal detachment. Then you would need to see an opthamologist.
Floaters are small specks of spots, lines or strands that seem to float across your field of vision. They are caused by small particles of protein or other matter trapped in the clear jelly-like fluid inside your eyeball during the formation of your eye.
They move when your eyes move, and seem to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Floaters are more noticeable when one looks at a featureless surface like a piece of paper or a clear sky.
Most floaters are harmless. Very rarely floaters may be very troublesome or obstruct your view. In some cases, floaters can be indicative of more serious problems, like a retinal tear.
See your ophthalmologist within 48 hours if you experience a change or increase in floaters, or a sudden shower of dot-like floaters, or if it obstructs your view. Your ophthalmologist may be able to seal the tear with a laser and so prevent a retinal detachment from occurring.

The back of your eye (behind the lens) is filled with this jelly like material called vitreous. So the term for them is called vitreous floaters and are usually considered not to be serious. But sometimes a sudden increase in seeing those spots is a sign of a pending retinal detachment. That is serious. So the floaters themselves aren't dangerous, but if you have a sudden increase of them you do need to contact an ophthalmologist.
There is no "cure" because they are like pieces of debris that are sloughed off in the back of the eye (kinda like how our skin cells slough off.

No, everyone has them. They are only variations in the vitreous humor (inside your eye) and there is nothing you an do for them. Just stop worrying about them and you won't notice them. Don't stare at bright lights and make more.

See an eye Dr. I have only the slightest idea what you are talking about. But when it comes to vision!! Get it taken care of.
