Brief Answer:
Fundus evaluation is must

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

What you have is high myopia or near sightedness. If someone complains of floaters in such myopes we generally do a fundus examination immediately, means seeing inside eye at the back of ball. You are seeing vitreous floaters, if there is any hole or lattices in the retina you can have such symptoms.
So visit ophthalmologist soon for evaluation.
