What you have seen are probably floaters which are more common in people with nearsightedness (myopia). Floaters alone are usually benign, more serious if there is lightning or impaired peripheral vision. Because the condition seems worse it is prudent to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist. Good luck.
