Not likely: A floater is described as a passing shadow that you can not specifically focus on. It should be in one Eye at a time. It is from proteins strands in the jelly like fluid in the eye called vitreous fluid. They would be unusual in someone your age. Sudden development of eye symptoms can mean something wrong with the retina so that should be checked out by an eye doctor. MS is very unlikely. Good health

Not MS: This is not sign of MS, as visual floaters are due to internal eyeball issues.
