Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Floatters coming in way while seeing.
If you do not concentrate on these floatters, you will not find this problem
This is common with high myopic numbers.
If problem persisted then consult ophthalmologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
