Yes: A person in his late 60's who has new changes in his vision needs to get examined by his eye doctor as soon as possible. Sometimes, urgent treatment is needed to prevent loss of vision. Other times, it is not urgent. There is no easy way for a person to figure that out on his own at home. Thus, a trip to his eye doctor is needed... to see if those "things" are really floaters or something else.
