Hate to say this but could be a torn retina... My sister had the same issue. Are you near or far sighted?



I would see an Optometrist doe this. I could be a retinal hole, tear, or if you are over 65, it could just be a normal occurrence with age. Either way, an Optometrist visit is advised. If you are very near sided, then you should rush to the Optometrist and they need to dilate your eyes.
