You need to get a diagnosis. Floaters are pretty normal and don't tell you anything in and of themselves. Find an optometrist and get an evaluation. If your field of view has retreated or you have poor corrected acuity, get a referral to whoever your doctor sends you to, probably a retinal specialist. There's seriously no point in trying to figure it out yourself based on visual artifacts and it might be something correctable, so you should see a doctor.

Yeah, I see some dots, like big bees flying around all the time, and something that looks like a near-transparent map of Florida...doctors always said they'd go away, or you get used to them, but that's crap. Never really bothered me till 2008.

I have vision distortion issues too, but go see a retinal specialist ASAP. They can give you Avastin shots to prevent distortion from getting worse if it's due to irregular blood vessels in your retina. My previous issue happened about 6 months ago in my right eye and it cleared up mostly with minimal vision loss. I actually just had my left eye start distortion issues today (which really blows because I was hoping it wouldn't be so soon).
