Not to worry: Your myopia is not a high degree. Reading can be good for the mind and is not harmful to your eyes - keep it up. Floaters are common, at worst annoying but only indicative of harm if they suddenly appear with dozens of floaters and light flashes You are not doing anything dangerous. If you still are worried, you could have an examination by an ophthalmologist (not an optometrist).
