Are lots of black floaters a sign you are going blind, why can i mostly see them only in my left eye? been seeing them for a year now.

See ophthalmologist: The floaters are not a sign of imminent blindness, but might represent a vitreous detachment. Best to uncover what is occurring and treat as necessary. An ophthalmology examination is a good starting point.
