Are Eye Floaters And Halo Around Objects Dangerous?

For the last couple weeks, I will randomly see speckles like gitter and will also see halos around objects. I do not have to be looking at a light or illumiated object for either of these things to happen. It is not consistent, but 3-4 times a day. When these symptoms occur they last 15 seconds to 5 minutes. Do I need to be concerned about this?
