@Sprung - Based off the extremely limited amount of information gleaned so far, floaters, even quite a few floaters are not usually linked to imminent blindness.
That said they can be related to hypertensive retinopathy or even indicative of a complication related to retinal detachment.
At this stage I'd schedule an appointment with you GP for referral to an opthamologist & educate yourself as best you can before hand.
I go to the eye doctor every year because I wear contacts. I've asked him about it repeatedly, and he has specifically checked for the various problems related to floaters. He's said it's nothing to worry about for years now. Still bothers me, and lately I've noticed them quite a bit.
